Reloads a Legal Liability in Self Defense???
Three hours research here and no joy, so sorry if this beating an old horse ...
Assuming a justifiable self-defense shooting, has the victim / shooter increased his civil liability, if any, by using his own reloads vs factory-fresh ammo? (Assume there's some way for law enforcement to determine it's reloaded ammo.)
(For the record, I'm thirty years past enjoying 'hot' loads. But I would like to shoot the same reloads for practice as self-defense for consistency. In hundreds of thousands of reloads, I've had no failures or squib loads, but I have had two BAD FACTORY rounds ... one missing primer and one without a powder charge. I'd rather trust my own ammo.)
