If you HAND LOAD!!!

For me the biggest safety risk is estimating how much to use, based on gun powders not available here in Norway.

E.g. N340 is roughly like Win540 and Herco, and the N330 would be like Greendot, No5 and PB. So since Norma P4 is between N340 and N330.. I should use something like X,X grain of it.
For every comparison like this, the margin of error increases!

So I'm not comfortable doing estimations like this, but as I reload for some 'obscure' calibers, there is not that many reload tables to choose from.. I barely trust my own reloads, and I never purchase or use anyone else's!

Shooting with light loads, as in Ron's story is especially dangerous if shooting in an angle downwards without use of Dacron. Like if you're in a hunting tower shooting downwards on a deer or something..
