Whatever self-defense ammo you chose, recommend putting a box of it through your SD (or any other pistol) with zero reliability problems before you "depend" on it.
Then shoot it periodically.
A major flaw with self-defense ammo is that people carry it, chamber it, take it out, put it back in, etc., a lot of times without realizing they can change the set back of the bullet and affect reliability and even ballistics. I believe the advice that self-defense ammo, even though expensive, should be fired and stocks rotated.

My experience with hand loads is to always use the Lee Factory Crimp Die. It will not "set back", especially my loads for the 300WBY Magnum...
