I agree we all make mistakes
but when dealing with something dangerous and mistakes can KILL you
a NEW reloader, should be one that looks at everything closer and twice if not 3 times before using or doing, to make sure they KNOW what there doing

trying to give excuses for why someone screwed up after the fact
honestly tends to come down to the person that made the screw up, , didn't take the time or EFFORT to learn anything, they THOUGHT They knew it all and just went and did something, only to find out afterwards they screwed up and DIDN"T know what they were doing
this attitude is IMO, sad, and getting worse with the world today
folks watch YOUTUBE vuideo's and suddenly THINK there experts or can do anything, without any other education ,m and NEVER even checking to see if the guy on youtube, even knew what he was doing they just take crap they find online and assume its FACT
I would gather its NOT just me that thinks, common sense is a fading trait in humans in this modern era of everything is ONLINE,
as well, as making a lot of tech advanced morons that don't really ever learn anything from reading ALL about, all about shortcuts these days
rather watch a video and THINK they learned something, over taking the time to properly LEARN something!

the OLD saying
"DON"T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER"
is sadly IMO< the ONLY way anyone wants to learn anything today
they see a picture of a video with a short title about"X"
watch it and assume its MUST BE TRUE if its online LOL


NOT again bashing your friend, just saying, I see a sadly slipping society of folks that don't want to spend ANY amount of time to LEARN, when they can watch short video and THINK They learned something!

everyone wants to JUST push a button these days, ZERO patience, and far too many THINK they know it all and have zero experience in things they THINK they know!
I'm again glad he didn;t get hurt or anyone around him!
