Using someone else's reloads-
I bought some 9mm ammo from a store that was 'remanufactured' by a local reloader because it only cost $4 per box. I shot 2 boxes without a hiccup, then the first round out of the 3 box blew my pistol apart.[:@]
Another one I made, was I got an order of brass in - 200 pieces of 6.5x55. Eager to get started reloading the stuff, I primed the entire lot without resizing first. When I go around to charging powder to the cases, I noticed that a large number of case necks were out-of-round. Without knowing if the rest of the dimensions of hte cases were out of spec, I took them to the range and fired them all off. Loading cases without bullets into a mauser is an extreme pita.[
