"We had a S&W blow up at the range a couple of months ago. Deteriorated powder in a reloaded cartridge blew the cylinder apart. We had to remove a piece of the brass cartridge from the shooter's forehead. He bled like a pig, but the wound was relatively small and could be treated onsite. "

The reason I will not shoot or buy anyone else's reloads. Last time I did the jackass had loaded well-worn brass to very hot levels. Most of the brass split and the noise and recoil were punishing. The only hot loads I will shoot are factory loads and then only for defense or hunting. I want my guns to last. When you think about it, the whole concept of "hot loads" is stupid. If you want more power, get a bigger gun.
