[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 840504, member: 39764"] My take on shooting someone else's handloads (with 2 exceptions) is this.... Shooting someone else's handloads is like cheating on your wife. You may be a good liar but sooner or later you'll get smacked....bad. Thye 2 exceptions for me are, one handgun loads with hard cast lead pills loaded by someone I know and 2, I load for our entire group, they all shoot my handloads in 223, 308, 270, 22-250 and 338 Lapua. However, I'm very methodical about how I load, what I load and everything is carefully tested and recorded in each box of rounds. Best part is, I get each of their rifles to build loads for so I get to shoot lots of different brands and calibers. I leave nothing to chance, I use quality brass (usually Lapua brass), quality propellantts (usually Hogdon) and quality pills (usually Sierra or Hornady) and cases are inspected each and every time and annealed if necessary or pitched in the scrap can. The last thing I want is to betray the trust of anyone in our group and/or cause personal injury. These guys are all my good friends and I value their friendship both hunting and not hunting.
