From H&K...
ANY UNAUTHORIZED ALTERATION OR MODIFICATION OF THE FIREARM OR USE OF PARTS OR COMPONENTS NOT ORIGINALLY MADE BY HECKLER & KOCH INC. SHALL VOID THIS WARRANTY. HECKLER & KOCH INC. SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CLAIMS INVOLVING THIS FIREARM THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF FAULTY, NONSTANDARD, REMANUFACTURED, OR RELOADED AMMUNITION OR AMMUNITION NOT MANUFACTURED TO NATO AND/OR SAAMI SPECIFICATIONS.
Ruger has no printed warranty. Smith & Wesson mentions "improper ammunition" and its your guess as to what that means.
Just because you reload does not mean you will have an issue that requires a factory warranty IF you pay attention and use good practices like Beaudene and others. BUT, if you have an issue that looks like it may have come from the ammo and its disclosed that you or someone else shot reloaded ammunition in that gun, you are likely on your own regarding repairs. Likely, any malfunction associated with bad ammo will be outside the warranty coverage, reloaded or factory.
