gumpokc,
You raise some good points. Some states have enacted "Castle Doctrine" laws that may be a factor to consider.
I asked an opponent of reloads what would happen if a homeowner ONLY had a muzzleloader for home defense? Would there be a penalty for using 90 grains of 2F Goex and roundball in a .50 caliber instead of 75 grains? Both would be RELOADS.
Or would the question be the JUSTIFICATION of the use of deadly force and the means used at the option of the victim in gravest extreme? Some say cops are sued frequentrly for shooting people and they all use factory loads, so factory ammo may not be a "free pass". If the use of deadly force is not justified, factory ammo will not save your hide in court.
