That sounds just like the same ignorant drivel spouted by those who
claim that it's risky to load your own for self-defense.

If you mean "reloading your own ammunition" (to be "hotter" than
usual), you are correct.

When talking about commercial ammunition, it's difficult to refute a
prosecutors claim: "The defendant SET OUT to kill! Why else would he
have loaded his weapon with "Atlas Red Rhino Atomic Devestator
Orphan Maker" ammunition...?" The same logic and argument would
obtain if someone hand-loaded bullets to be sooper-dooper.


We're still waiting for a cite of such a case...


A cite is difficult inasmuch as issues such as this are raised at the trial
level and seldom make it to published opinions of appelate courts.


Nevertheless, here are four cases. Note the first case includes the
observation (by the DA):

“Why wasn’t regular ammunition deadly enough for you,” used by opposing
counsel. They charged Kennedy with aggravated assault. They made a large
issue out of his use of handloads, suggesting that they were indicative of a
reckless man obsessed with causing maximum damage.
