As far as the controversial "don't use handloads for self defense" Ayoob has produced a couple of specific cases where they caused legal problems. So the risk of handloads causing problems is low, but not zero.
In what way did it cause legal problems?
Was it an actual factor in the outcome of the case or was it something the lawyers just talked about?
Only thing I've seen him say with conviction about it is that using factory ammo increases the chance of accurate forensics due to the possibility that you might still have the box the fired rounds came from with the lot number - or something lIke that. He cited a case where that made the difference. I guess I'm screwed, 'cause I don't keep track of that stuff.
