"Commercial Reloads"??? Call them by their proper name, "factory ammunition".

If bad reloads blew up that gun, then guns commit murders...

That is a problem shooting mild hand loads that barely recoil. With normal power loads a squib will be instantly noticed, but with super-mild target loads, a squib can easily go with little notice.
