I would be shooting them out of a 625 mountain gun so no Ruger only offerings if you please.
Because of certain important aspects of the rules of evidence, the source of the ammunition can determine whether or not the defense would be able to introduce expert witnesses to testify about gunshot residue pattern evidence. That could help determine the outcome by supporting the defendant's credibility and/or by impeaching the veracity of unfavorable witness testimony. In some instances (LEO shootings), the admissibility of such evidence played a part, but one would have to interview each juror to determine how much difference it made.I've never seen any evidence showing the type of ammo used made a difference in the final outcome of a trial.
Not exactly. If the investigators, charging authority, and/or grand jury believe it likely that the shooting was justified, or if the prosecution fails to prove that it was not justified...well, that is what counts. And that will hinge on the totality of the evidence that is made known.If a shooting is justified, it will make no difference.
Do a google search. The flying ashtray hasn't been around for a long time.
