[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1011616, member: 2736"] There are two areas of great risk to the builder. One is loading ammo and the other is trigger work. Rifles need to be pressure tested above SAMME specifications before it is given to the buyer and function tested also to make sure that every thing is working well. Accuracy testing should also be performed if an accuracy guarantee is part of the build. As you said, it is impossible to know what some people will do to or with a rifle so caution is paramount. I have had people shoot the wrong caliber ammo in a rifle/pistol or load over loads and have to take the rifle apart and do some non destructive test on it to make sure it was not hurt and is still safe. So only you can/should decide what level of risk you should be prepared to take. I recommend that if a person is not or has never been a re loader, that they use factory loads. If they want to reload they need to start like everyone else and get the book and learn how to use it. I never give my load data to anyone unless they are accomplished re loaders. Also loads that are safe in some rifles will be dangerous in other rifles/chambers. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
