This is VERY good advice. I've been shooting since I was a kid and hand loading since 1963. I NEVER shoot anyone else's hand loads in my guns (with the exception of my brother, with whom I have worked for more than half a century).

I have, on occasion, purchased or otherwise ended up with ammo loaded by someone else. In those instances, I set the ammo aside and when time allows I pull the bullets, burn the powder in a tray (small amounts at a time), store the bullets after weighing them, and carefully examine the cases, discarding any that are suspect in any way. Accumulating components in this way is safe and helpful. Shooting ammunition of unknown composition is foolish and always should be avoided.
