[QUOTE="Muskrat Outdoors, post: 2249935, member: 119188"] The best advice I have had told to me when it comes to reloading, is as follows: #1-Before loading any cartridge, find the load, or a at least compare it to at least 2 sources. One source can be a misprint or just plain bad advice. (Learned this the hard way!) #2- Start with low, or middle loads. Max loads can be unsafe in some guns, and don't always shoot the best anyway. Watch for pressure signs! #3-Look for powders/loads that have compably low pressure, yet high velocity. (I always try to find powder that will work in several of my guns too.) #4- never trust someone else's re-loads unless you know and trust the person that loaded them. Always pull and reload garage sale ammo unless it is factory.....when in doubt, pull 'em! And don't re-use the powder, you don't know 100% for sure what type it is. #5- Don't reload while drinking or being distracted. #6- Have fun !! Happy shooting! [/QUOTE]
