Regardless of what you use, it will be the most deadly, most destructive ammo ever made regardless of where it came from. It's your lawyers job to refute that. Per my lawyer when I ask that question.An attorney for the family of the trash you put down will jump all over the use of reloads, that you were purposely making your ammo more deadly.
Just the facts, ma'am

Are any of you using Berry's Hybrid Hollow Point bullets for ccw? Not looking for a debate about pros and cons of reloads for ccw.

Well when you've been reloading a while you already know what works. Personally some of the least reliable ammo I've ever shot was store bought and from major manufacturers. I've had dangerously over pressured AR ammo that blew primers and terribly underpowered 45 auto ammo that barely made a 1911 function. But I will concede that even experienced reloaders don't shoot other people's reloads.
My HAP loads are range rounds but my XTP and other SD rounds are probably made to tighter tolerances that most manufactured ammo. I used to think a quality gun will always perform well, when you reload you know any firearm is only as capable as the cartridges you put in it. So any of us doing this a while would have already tested, tested and tested again before betting our life on our ammo.

Load em up make sure they shoot good and I'm good to goI am loading those for practice ammo in a couple of EDCs. They seem to be just fine for practice ammo. For actual carry I load up the 9s with Hornady Custom 124-grain XTPs and have a small stock of them. I've chronographed the Hornady ammo and I'm confident that I can come real close to duplicating it, and I have a thousand of those bullets (the 124 XTPs) waiting on the shelf. I should be good for a while.
I swore to myself that I'd never reload 9mm, but that promise faded just as the promise I made to myself that I'd never load 55-grain FMJ for my ARs. In addition to the thousand XTPs on the shelf, there are several thousand of the Berry's 124-grain HHPs. Like I said, they're for practice ammo. I believe a guy could use them effectively for defensive purposes if he cared to test them on dead pigs, but I'm just not that ambitious. The XTPs will be fine for EDC once my factory XTP ammo is gone.
And NO, I am not in the least bit concerned about using handloads for EDC---regardless of of urban myths.
