Pray tell what flavor of the month is that?
Berry's new entry into the LEO/SD bullet market
Those were preliminary test rds using the FBI-type requirements for testing.
They are supposed to hit the catalog around mid-summer.

bds, hate to break this to you, 'cause you've made yourself feel all warm and fuzzy believing . . . hoping . . . that your reloading equipment can't be seized in a warrant if you assert you didn't use hand loads.


But you're wrong.


The order can be granted to take anything suspected as evidence. Doesn't have to be proven. They won't take your word.

They will take your STUFF and determine it all on their own.

If it might matter to the case, they won't dither. It'll be taken as evidence right away and excluded later. Much later. Like when they get around to it. But your reloading tools and components can still be taken when you swear up on down on your dead mother's grave you used factory ammo.

Doesn't really matter, since the odds of you ever finding that out are remote.


I don't bother worrying over it. And I'd discourage anyone new to reloading to wait on carrying hand loads until they've get several thousand rounds worth of experience.
 
The problem is that once the police discover/realize that reloaded ammunition was involved in the shooting, your ENTIRE reloading equipment/components can and will be taken in for evidence for the duration of the investigation and/or court trial while police/experts may try to replicate the load used for the shooting to determine distance, etc.

Got news for you, if they discover you reload, or there is any question about whether its a good shoot or not, they can and probably will confiscate your entire firearm collection and all of your reloading gear anyway, along with the clothes and shoes you were wearing at the time, and your car if it was near or involved in the shooting incident.

Depends on the prosecutor the police and the judge.
