[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 1707777, member: 796"] 1. There us no OK law on ammo used for self defense other than the use of prohibited bullets, as listed in the SDA. 2. The use of "custom made ammunition" or reloads in a homicide raise certain issues that are heavily dependent on the individual states' laws and the specifics of the case. Ayoob's main cautionary points, as I understood him, involve lack of standard ammunition for ballistics testing and crime scene reconstruction (if it somes to that), plus the potential additional liability exposure in a civil lawsuit, where the rules are different than a criminal case. Considering the extremes, if you clearly were not justified to shoot, you are in trouble regardless. On the other hand, if it is clearly found to be unquestionably justified, bringing a civil suit in OK is very difficult, and the details aren't going to be examined in court. However, if it is a questionable shoot and you do wind up in civil court, expect the opposition lawyer to put EVERYING under a microscope and use all of it to characterize you as a maniac who used a modified gun and super deadly custom bullets to gratify your slavering desire to kill somebody, anybody. There could be an advantage to saying you used a stock gun and factory ammunition, like the police use, to stop him attacking you. Suggest you read Ayoob's book, which has some of his cases where he was an expert witness . [/QUOTE]
