Shooting reloads. What a surprise.
I thought that was only supposed to happen with Glocks??????
Shooting reloads. What a surprise.
And your point is?
I'm over twice your age so I'm not as smart as you but.... I have been reloading for 30 years plus and have to this date had exactly zero kabooms and one squib load to my credit. To make a blanket statement like that is totally idiotic. Reloading is like anything else, if you don't have your head in the game don't do it. I, like most who reload, have very stict rules when reloading which are never compromised. One of those rules is to never shoot any one else's reloads.My point is, almost every time this happens to any handgun the owner is shooting reloads. And then everyone rants about how it has nothing to do with the fact that they were shooting reloads. It's not just a strange coincidence.

It's not the reloads, it's the reloader.
I've reloaded thousands and thousands of rounds without one problem.
I also check my brass for cracks, am very observant while I charge my cases with powder, and I check every 20 or so rounds for over all length.
If you also look into it, you'll find that 75%ish of reload kabooms happen with gun show reloads. There's a big difference between a person making performance ammunition for him(or her)self and a person looking to make back what he spent on a table by selling ziploc bags of cheap ammo.

Hitman;390550 Have you ever reloaded any .40 S&W?[/QUOTE said:Yes, but I don't anymore. All I'm saying is don't blame reloading, it's perfectly safe hobby as long as it's done right. Buying reloads from gun show tables is like playing Russian Roulette.

That had to hurt the thumbs...
From another angle.....One of those rules is to never shoot any one else's reloads.
