Well, wadcutters are usually loaded flush to the case mouth, right? I've exerimented with them, but only loaded backwards to test the effectiveness of that giant hollow point, which was meh, and accuracy was meh squared. As far as I know, the only advantage to wadcutters is they cut clean holes in target paper for scoring purposes.
So given the flush-to-the-mouth loading, I suppose it's possible to confuse wadcutters with blanks, but I guess it's a question of not being able to tell the difference between lead and a cardboard. top wad/ Let alone the difference in weight.
I'm mad as hell about it, but capital punishment is not in order. It was unintended stupid gross negligence resulting in a fatal accident. I'm sure what goes on in his mind is lots of punishment, but it's not enough.
