Oh, and for the record. I've probably muddled it up earlier in the thread but now people are posting specifically about super insane hot reloads.

We will NOT be doing anything crazy. Hottest would be something approaching Buffalo Bore or even well established Keith type loads. That will only be after we have a firm grip on reloading. Nothing insane, no "fill the case and smash the bullet in" type stuff.

We're just starting out and my buddy is down around Cowboy Loads right now in .38 Special. We're far from even pushing our way past WWB .357 generic loads.

Thanks from the concern but I like my hands and fingers and have no intention of blowing up them or a many hundred dollar firearm I worked hard to own.
