Wouldn't be much of a stretch for a prosecutor to paint the shooter as some sort of "gun nut" because he loads his own ammo.

And by that, people who cook for themselves are "food nuts," people who fix their own cars are, "car nuts," people who are self-employed are, "work nuts", people who roll their own smokes are more nuts, etc.
As demonstrated by the complete absence of any case law to this affect, I think that a lawyer would be laughed out of the courtroom if this was his argument, that a person who handloaded his bullets is any different than a person who bought them from a store. Dead is dead and it wouldn't make any difference it if was a hand load or a factory load.
I chose not to reload based not on the alleged legal ramifications but instead on the practicality of it as listed in my prior post above.
