Loading your own defense ammo.

I load all my own, and use nothing but Gold Dots, in Nickel cases.
Primers won't go down due to SD ammo things changing though

So is anyone out there reloading or planning on loading your own defense rounds? With the newly enforced "restrictions" by Speer/Federal/ATK on only selling 50 count LE boxes to credentialed LEOs and departments I have a hard time giving them anymore business. I'll load my own Gold Dots or switch to Remington, Magtech, Sig, etc. Note that this is in no way a slap at the LEO community, it is however a full on face slap at the manufacturers that think we "private citizens" should have to pay a 100% markup for quality, proven, ammunition.

And I'm also wondering if Speer will continue to sell Gold Dot bullets to handloaders in the common defensive pistol calibers on an ongoing basis. About the only silver lining I can see coming from this is that primers should become more available when their sales demand drops through the floor.

Oh I know, those days where they were $0.01 apiece for all those years are long gone. But I'd just like to be able to buy Federal SPPs once in awhile for my tuned revos. I'll just run WSPs or up the springs and run what I can find.
