From Spats link, I found this posted by Glenn Meyers: Though it doesn't talk about the factory/re-load debate, I find it interesting, and may help us understand how jury's look at SD shootings.
Very interesting and educational. I think you
can use Glenn's article to understand the reload vs factory dispute.

In reading the article, I can see different scenarios. For example, I think you would see a difference in court if, for example, you were using re-loads in heavy "N" frame revolver vs. a reload in a little 642, and also, it looks as if who is using the reloads would make a difference.
