I hate to say it (this is not directed at any single person) but there's sooooo much mis-information out there, what people think they understand and the lack of knowledge on what to look for.

I see anything from undersized chamber to no need to crimp to the plunk test to slug the bbl to thin walled brass.

I'm not picking on titegroup, it's an excellent powder. It just seems that every time I read about a kaboom anymore it's titegroup 9mm or titegroup 40s&w combo. Titegroup is an excellent powder but it's also very unforgiving.

There are excellent reloaders (actually some of the best out there) on this forum. Perhaps a new thread on the subject of reloading for the semi-auto's would be useful to new and old reloaders alike. Talk about bbl's and what to look for along with what equipment works for what bullet/bullet diameters would be useful.
