Panfisher, from a layman's perspective... If I were to need to introduce ballistic evidence, it would imply that a prosecutor and a grand jury suspected there were something suspicious about a shooting in the first place. The prosecutor thinks I murdered somebody.

The prosecutor might think I had deliberately created some specialty load that would have different characteristics from my usual loads, in order to dupe the CSI guys. Remember, he would believe I were shady, or he would not have charged me.

That being the case, what are the odds he would think me capable of premeditated murder or attempted murder, but not maintaining false logs or altering a small portion of my reloads?
