All reloading can be dangerous! I use a 550rl and for many years used just a Leeloader hand kit when I only loaded for one caliber. Now that I load for 7 different calibers I've become acutely aware of how easy it is to make a mistake or miss a potentially dangerous flaw in product. Those of us that load thousands of rounds can all attest to something that they caught that probably scared them (I hope!). It just serves to make us more cautious. I buy a lot of pre primed brass and aluminum cases that I only load once. Those require close inspection due to manufacturing defects. I've fired over 5000 rounds of these in .45 auto and can tell you that I would NOT rely on them for self defense! I've found holes, malformed lips and various other defects regardless of manufacturer.
BE SAFE!
