[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2405618, member: 118816"] Do I reload for friends? Of course I do especially these days with all of the covid related stuff going on but within my limitations. No, I can load just about anything and mostly do. My limitations are that the firearm be in good shape, Let me inspect it, and no hot loads. I have found that the most accurate loads are not the Max loads but somewhere less than that. I am not a hoarder, but over the years I have accumulated a lot of reloading supplies that have been recently in short supply. Do I have primers? of course I do. Do I have powder? Depends on what you want loaded. Do I have bullets? Again, it depends on what you want loaded. Loading rifle cartridges I find much easier and safer than handgun ammo. It's next to impossible to do a double charge of powder in a rifle cartridge while a double charge in a pistol cartridge is not only easily possible but if not paying attention can be a big time issue as well as dangerous. If one is careful no powder or double charges do not happen, but one has to be careful to make sure that doesn't happen. I charge my primed cases and put them in a loading block. When done take a flashlight and look down into the charged cases to make sure that the levels of powder are the same in each and every cartridge. Empty's are easy to spot as are double charges. Am I worried when I touch off one of my loads? Not in the least. Am I worried when one of my friends touches off one of my loads? Absolutely not. Each and every step of the process is documented and recorded so I am confident when I hand a box of ammo to my friend it will perform as well and be as safe as factory loads. I started loading in 1970, in the ensuing 52 years I have not had any round that I have loaded hang or misfire, nor have I had any squib loads. It comes from paying attention to detail and personal quality control. Never load when tired and never load if one has had even one shot of hard stuff or one bottle of beer.
