Vegaswriter,

Interesting, to say the least! I could see a plot developed where investigators find a .277" diameter Sierra 140 gr boattail slug lodged into tree near a murder victim. Clue!

I could see the investigators determining that the slug is only available to hand loaders as a component, not available in factory ammunition! Clue!

I could also imagine a crime lab determining the chemical makeup of the propellant used with trace analysis of the slug! Clue!

Maybe a person of interest list can be shortened when the investigators find out that some of the suspects are avid hand loaders! I get where you are going with this.

Bring some of your concerns to the open forum, let us help you with your novel.
