[QUOTE="marchboom, post: 203852, member: 10562"] Not all of us have access to a ballistics lab so we have to depend on accepted pressure signs, reloading manuals, chronographs results and years of experience. But if anything is a danger to someone who handloads, it is "pet loads". I hate that term. You see shooters on this forum, and others, asking for a pet load for a certain caliber. Making a suggestion on the components that one uses and has good luck with is one thing, but if posters care about their fellow shooters they should refrain from indicating the load [B]charge[/B]. There are handloaders who will blindly follow that recipe exactly. Sometimes with dangerous results. [/QUOTE]
