Re: FYI for New Shooters and a Reminder for Old Timers
I had a squib in my 50cal M3HB. I couldnt hear it so I thought it was a misfife or a round didn't load.
So I started to rack the handle repeatedly with no success. The whole time I was ramming a APIT into the rear
of a stuck bullet and didnt know it. Long story short I eneded up pulling a bullet (in the field) and taping the opening
and firing it to dislodge the projectile. I think it came out sideways...It worked though.
That was a round I loaded

Re: FYI for New Shooters and a Reminder for Old Timers
I concur in general.
However, I do know the reloading talents of two of my uncles and I wouldn't hesitate to shoot their reloads. ...in fact, I've shot a lot of their handloads over the years. (both were responsible in teaching me back when I was about 12yo)
Strangers, and known folks that I do not personally know their handload skills - hell no!RIP: SFN, 1861, twoeggsup, Lambo, jamesjo, JayBell, 32 Magnum, Pro2A, mrwildroot, dregan, Frenchy, Fragger, ungawa, Mtn Jack, Grapeshot, R.W.J., PennsyPlinker, Statkowski, Deanimator, roland, aubie515

Re: FYI for New Shooters and a Reminder for Old Timers
It depends whose reloads they are. I would have no problem shooting reloads from the person that taught me how to reloads, none whatsoever.You always have to consider the source. I know people that pick up brass at the range to reload. I wouldn't shoot any load from components I do not know the origin of. There's a limit to how many times cases can be reused. I keep a record of that.

Re: FYI for New Shooters and a Reminder for Old Timers
Got a batch of brass marked once fired. If that was true this happened on the second firing:

My fault for not taking a few minutes with a sharpened paperclip to check inside the case.
Pulled the rest and found a couple more potential separations.
