Make a second charge for killing? (6)

I believe the answer is:

reload

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'make a' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'second charge for killing?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'second' could be 're' (prefix meaning second in eg review, re-education) and 're' is located in the answer.
'charge' could be 'load' (loading is a kind of charging) and 'load' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reload that I've seen before include "Encumber again" , "Give further ammunition to" , "Put in another charge" , "Ordeal (anag.)" , "Put new ammunition in gun" .)
