But their's is excepted. Who says their guys load it properly, just look at thelemite's reply to see how trustworthy they are and how they follow proper procedure. If they can't store the firearms the way they are told to, who is to say they load their ammo the way it's supposed to be.

I will use the ammo from a guy that supplies the police with their ammo over a business that can't keep their workers safe from improperly stored firearms.

After hearing that story I wouldn't trust reloaded ammo made by me, Sunset Hill, or anyone else.

It's simple measurements. If you can't add 4+4 and double check your work, I would suggest staying away from reloading. Basic failures also effect other aspects of life, and this is scary.

If anyone is that bad maybe they should not own a gun, they could hurt themselves or worse yet some one else.

Also it's probably not a good idea to frequent a range where the RO's shoot themselves.

So thats all it is to reloading? Just get the measurements right and the round won't fail violently?

Oh so I shouldn't blaze up my fattie while reloading rounds?

Indeed.

I know someone who reloads their rounds, if it's that easy/safe I might look into it when I get into larger calibers.

All you need to do is take your time, double check your work, and you're good to go.
