I would defend myself before using a public defender.. they are a sure ticket to a conviction

... it leaves a permanent 36 caliber path.
How'd it shrink from 45 to 36?

Ball is far inferior to modern hollowpoints that often open to 2 x caliber.. it leaves a permanent 36 caliber path. Also ball is famous for bouncing off skulls
If you're talking about reloading for self-defense, I personally would urge you to reconsider. Legally, shooting someone with a reload you made for maximum stopping power will take a lot more explaining than buying one of the myriad of great self-defense products that are on the market.

Bouncing off bowling pins....yup ! Steel pot ?....yup ! Skulls you say ? Human skulls ? I wonder how many people lived to report that amazing fact ?
Kinetic energy is over rated. The theory of dumping maximum kinetic energy in the intended target creates maximum trauma is only theory.
K = 1/2 Velocity squared X Mass
Any old hunter can tell you that a fat slow bullet causes more trauma than small fast one.
Momentum and frontal area does the real work.
Momentum = Velocity X Mass
Concerning knock down power,
Force = Mass X Acceleration
Stop watching so much TV.
The bullet imparts momentum and also converts kinetic energy into work.
Work = integral of Force over distance
Force = time derivative of momentum
I do agree with the fat and slow concept. Momentum breaks bones and creates wound cavities. Not trying to start anything, just clarifying. I may be off by a negative sign on the work equation.
Lets see: Massad Ayoob's published articles and court decisions against using reloads are "urban myth"?I will treat it as hear say and your opinion - unless there is precedence there is no basis for this urban myth on using reloads for personal protection.
