How NOT to reload...Kaboom!

Warren Sear, they can be tough to interpret at times. Flattened, cratered primers are not necessarily a danger flag alone but would make me question why and at least work up the load with a different primer. Sticky extraction in a revolver comes to mind. Empties flying for twelve feet out of a semi-auto might give me pause. Some handloaders measure case head expansion.

I run 10 grains of Unique in my 44 Mag reloads. I couldn't agree more.

I tried 10 grains Unique with a .431 Keith 250 grainer in my 29-2; .431 because the gun has .432 chamber throats. Sticky extraction! Scratch that load! What are you shooting, if I may ask?

I guessing the guy who shot that will need to be cured of flinching in the near future with .22's.

Reminds me of my drag racing days. One time a couple of us were staring at a couple pieces of a Kawi's crank lying on the ground. Problem was the rest of the motorcycle was 1320 feet down the track. To quote the owner "before we find out how much is enough, first we must find out how much is to much".
