[QUOTE="gohring3006, post: 1205731, member: 78762"] Great post Jerry! I used to load for a couple of people, but after much thought I quit. Not because I don't trust my reloading to be safe, I'm more conservative than most when it comes to loading. I tend to stay in the middle of road so to speak, rather than load hot. The reason I stopped loading for other people, is because I had a piece of Winchester brass get into my Remington 22-250 lot of brass, and I didn't catch it until I fired it, and it recoiled like a .243. I had to hammer the bolt open and the primer was gone. I was simply dumbfounded because I didn't have any Winchester brass that I knew of in 22-250. I must have picked it up at the range and didn't know it. So I made a decision to not load for people anymore. I just erased all liability by doing so. If someone wants to come over and do a proper work up, and load their own, I am more than happy to help them. But I'm not loading them... It caused me to slow down and not take anything for granted... It was one of those times, that I was lucky.... [/QUOTE]
