WARNING ON RELOADED AMMUNITION
The use of reloaded (or "handloaded",
"remanufactured", or other non-standard)
ammunition is far and away the most common
cause of dangerous malfunctions and blown up
firearms.
Reloading is a complex science which
unfortunately is not as fully understood by many of
its practitioners as it deserves to be. It also requires
a high order of quality assurance which many have
neither the specialized knowledge nor the
equipment to establish and maintain.
A reloaded cartridge is no better than the
knowledge, skill and care of the person who made
it. The process is endless of seemingly minor
details that, if not gotten right, can produce a major
disaster. A cartridge that is improperly resized,
primed, charged or assembled, or made from the
wrong, defective or outdated components, can be
extremely dangerous in many ways. It can slam-fire,
cause a bore obstruction, produce a malfunction
that sets the stage for an accidental discharge,
inflict progressive damage to the gun, or suddenly
blow it up.
Such problems seldom arise from original
factory-made ammunition from major manufacturers
who have the experience and facilities to produce it
correctly. It is much safer to use only original
factory-made cartridges, and you are emphatically
urged to do so.
Some intrepid souls nonetheless will choose to
use reloaded ammunition. They should understand
that they are embracing an extra and potentially
lethal risk, and must accept full responsibility if
injury results.
