Police don't believe the gun malfunctioned. Instead, they believe the reloaded ammunition Riling was using caused the problem.
Some shooters reload as a hobby or to save money on commercial, factory-made ammunition. Reloaded ammunition also can be bought.
Target World doesn't sell reloaded ammunition, an employee said. Police didn't know where Riling got his. Because it was in a plastic bag and not in commercial packaging, police said there is a good chance it was "homemade."
Firearms are designed, manufactured and proof-tested to standards based on factory-made ammunition. Reloaded ammunition that deviates from the recommendations can be dangerous, police said. :target:
btw Georgia Arms packages their ammunition in ziploc type bags
