I experienced the effects of precision reloading about 20 years ago while shooting the Vermont state outdoor bullseye championship. My friend Ron was firing in the station to my left, and in timed and rapid fire about 15 of 20 hot pieces of his .45 brass landed on my hand, my wrist or on top of my pistol as I fired. We had a few laughs over it.
Ron was famous for heavy loads in his revolvers and Desert Eagles. He wasn't happy if the flame was less than 3' at the muzzle. Cancer took him too young, and we miss him.
