"Do you mean to say you CAN save enough money on foreign ammo or Joe Bloe's reloads to make blowing up your gun and possibly vaporizing a couple of your fingers worth it?"

If you exercise some common sense and know what you are buying, yes. Some of the foreign 9x19 ammo is excellent stuff. Reloads, well, you have to know how they are loaded. If in doubt, pass up the deal.

"I'm not sure what you are disagreeing with."

I hope I've cleared that up.

"Do you mean beginners/amateurs DON'T reload too hot and then foist their little bombs on unsuspecting people (I was in a gun store a few days ago and listened to a conversation between one of the sales people and a guy on the phone who wanted to know if he should fill up his cases all the way with powder XYZ or if not, "how far up to fill them")."

I believe it is illegal to sell your reloads to anyone, unless you have a licence to manufacture ammo. Knowing this, simply don't buy reloads that are produced by amateurs. If someone else wants to kill themselves, let them deal with that.

"And do you mean that foreign ammo makers DON'T have a long and well-deserved reputation for poor quality control and corrosive ammo that is often corrosive even when the box says it is not."

You are trying to lump all foreign manufactures together here. This is illogical at best. If you buy crap, that's what you have bought. If you buy quality, that is what you have bought. It's up to you to educate yourself as to what is crap and what is quality.

If you have a question on a certain type of ammo, please question it in this forum and we will respond with our comments.

"I'm completely puzzled."

I hope this explanation has cleared up your confusion.
