Why no handloads for the class?

(1/5) > >>

bk09:
I'm looking at taking a ccw class with Nebraska Firearms Training and noticed there are no handloads allowed in the class. Chris if you read this can you explain why? I have a beef against buying factory ammo unless it is .22lr. Trust me if I could reload .22lr I would  :D.

After writing this I have thought of another question for ya'll. Does your carry gun have handloads or do you use factory loads?

I can't answer for your instructor, but I'd bet that there are banned because there are too many people who don't know what they're doing, and the chances of misfires, hangfires, and exploding gun barrels is more than the teacher wants to risk.

I've never met anyone who has had an accident with a reload. Have you?

I feel like being concerned about reloads, and this subject, are quite similar to how I am questioned non-concealed carriers. Most people are responsible.

Yes. And seen damaged firearms as a result. I shoot a lot. And in many diffrent venues. Out of the thousands of rounds I have seen down range at years of competition and hunting it has not happened often but it has happened to both newer and experienced re-loaders. Most of whom I would not consider to be either stupid or careless.

I reload - but wil never carry reloads in my CCW gun. The legal ramifications could be very costly. The prosecutors can and will use that against you. "Your loads were more deadly than store bought - so you went out with your gun with the sole intention of killing someone" - why give them more than they already have to use against you?
