I don't believe, that the ML are blowing up cause of magnum loads. A ML is a special thing that you can place in the category with reloading. You do it enough you are going to make a mistake. Bottom line.
So what you're saying is.... if you reload and shoot muzzleloaders on a fairly regular basis you are going to sustain a severe injury that could potentially cost you your life or at the very least severe pain and suffering.
I for one have people counting on me to make it to work on Monday morning...(part of the commitment I took when I said "I do"). Sure I have insurance in case I don't, but I owe it to them to make every effort that I do.
And generally speaking when I have powder igniting and pressures building inches from my face I want to know that the components containing them are capable of doing so even if I do make a mistake.
I work in an industry that is considered to be in the top five of dangerous jobs and safety is priority one.
I buy the best equipment I can, in all my endeavors, because someday my life could depend on it. If there are safety issues involved with a particular brand or type of firearm I want to know about it. Normally, when I get a safety recall on the vehicle my family is riding in, I at the very least read it....
