You might want to check with local lawers. From what I've read in reliable sources that prosecutors often present to grand juries that reloads are "cop killer bullets". I stick with factory loads in my edc.
i believe that to be more of myth than fact unless you have proof that shows that to be the case.
here are some observations on my part about self defense shootings, guns and ammo.
one, or two reasons for a person to be sitting in court facing a prosecutor, a judge and a jury if they were involved in self defense shooting. one, they didn't believe your story and it didn't align with the statements and the evidence they recovered, and it smelled fishy. first the cops didn't believe your story, and then the prosecutor didn't believe your story, then grand jury didn't believe your story, and now you're sitting in court, and guess what, it's unlikely the judge and the jury are going to believe your story either! you better looking for good plea bargain and take the deal if they offer it to you.
second reason, is you probably live in very restrictive state or city with huge gun control laws and measures that hinder law abiding citizens with guns and using guns for self defense. so it's quite possible the prosecutor could be very much anto-gun, an will be very biased against you for using a gun self defense. and it's very possible if you used reloads, he's going to portray you as blood thirsty killer. it's also highly likely he's going to go for a jury that feels the same as he does, or as close as possible, and very possible the judge as well. you were screwed from the get go in deciding to use a gun for self defense.
now, in a righteous shooting, so far that i have seen, and no one has yet to show anything that contradicts it, in all the years i have posed that someone show me proof of actual court cases where the choice in type of ammo, or the firearm used was deciding factor in determining guilt or innocence in a trial. if you feel like proving me wrong on these points, then please do. now in civil trial, if person beat the criminal trial, and they allow a civil trial to take place, the burden of proof is much different, and it's possible that the type of ammo, or the firearm could be deciding factors in the judgement handed down.
