[QUOTE="jdyoung, post: 2599740, member: 113391"] It's one of my Rules!!! Always use factory ammo when breaking in a new gun, rifle/pistol which ever. If things go wrong, not as expected, then your reloading experience/ techniques are not at question in determining responsibility. Example: a local man, ex-Marine, a very, very experienced reloader, bought a new at that time S&W Model 29-3 in 44mag. He used his reloads for the first firing. Gun seized up. I'm not sure of the details exactly, it was a real long time ago, but he wasn't hurt. He notified Smith & Wesson who investigated and upon the results of their investigation, contested his claim and refused responsibility because it was reloads and thus the possibility of a mistake made during the assembly of the reloading components and or calculation of resulting pressure. It's definitely a hard thing to do these days, finding factory ammo!! But it is a safety factor. There's always a possibility to have the custom maker or seller provide a box of ammo for break-in.
