[QUOTE="cynicrit, post: 1981574, member: 80156"] I suspect that anytime a reloading formula is published, there is someone involved who understands tort law. This is addressed by going to the lowest common denominator i.e. the most reckless, careless, or just plain human person who might be using that load. Now there’s a can of worms. Most factories load using virgin brass, with propellants whose characteristics they specified, with bullets they either manufacture or set specs for, on machines that they maintain and control. Most of all, this is done by people who have a very deep interest in not screwing up, overseen by people who are even more interested in not screwing up. There’s something to be said for pride and professionalism. Not throwing shade at anyone, most reloaders are super conscientious and take great pains to get it right. Some are the shooting culture’s equivalent of rocket scientists. And reloaders who don’t measure up either give up reloading (because their ammo sucks or they can’t afford to keep repairing guns) or end up in the ER, or end up in the Darwin Awards. It’s just that a factory has a higher degree of control over every aspect of production. And they test,test,test. So, if they occasionally push the envelope, they can do so with confidence, knowing that they have taken great pains to cover their backside. That’s just my worm’s eye view. [/QUOTE]
