Now I an fairly certain that just about 100% of the folks here are like me in that they would never shoot another persons reloads unless the reloader is very well known to them and they trust them.
A friend of mine recently bought about 100 rounds of 300 WinMag at a yard sale from the supposed reloader. He did not know the gent, but the price was right.
He got to thinking and decided that he could afford to waste any powder, so he started pulling the bullets.
His first pull told him all he needed to know.
The powder was a mixture of stick, ball and flake.
Nope....my keyboard did not stutter...... he was unlloading a diaster waiting to happen.
I told him to pop the primers also, cause heaven knows what primers he was using.
Granted, he got the brass and bullets at a very reasonable price..... but if had not been a tad curious, he would probably find himself without a rifle and body parts.
Caution is the By-Word......
