if you are justified in shooting, this fact should not come to light during any type of Grand Jury experience.
I honestly don't even know how they would ever find out that the ammo was reloaded, as opposed to factory loaded.
if it goes beyond the GJ, you may have to consider your justification in the whole, but what you shoot, still, should have no bearing at all. A good attorney (I know a guy down in Houston
) should be able to negate any attempts to use "reloads" as anything other than a method of being frugal.
most folk would warn agains reloads due to the "human error" factor, but only you know how careful you are when reloading.
(I'm thinking of double charges and things of that nature.)
me, I like my +P loaded ammo because I believe that the higher muzzle velocity will help the bullet pass through any barriers, and still retain enough momentum to fully expand. but once again, that's just me.
The case that WildBill is referencing (I believe) was in Arizona, and involved a guy shooting a 10mm. The DA said he chose a "man-killer" round, or some such nonsense. the gentleman did not have adequate representation or that viewpoint would have shown to been without merit.
