If It were me, I'd say that I loaded the .357 cartridges to the max because I had planned to shoot them through my .357 model 92 Rossi rifle, and I hadn't intended that they be shot from a pistol. Even though it would be an out right lie, I doubt that I would be convicted. Most lawyers, like politicians, are flat out paid liars too, so I would have no ethics problem with fibbing my way to an exoneration. Now, honestly, maybe a loaded to the max .357 cartridge would blow up a Rossi too, for all I know, but in court I'd just play dumb. Oh, one more thing, I'd not mention that I'd had a box stolen previously.
