That post about reloaders really Pi**ed me off. I have been reloading ammunition for a lot of years, and I have a lot of friends in the Reloading Fraternity. I can tell you from first hand experience that you will never find a more persnickity bunch than hand loaders. The first rule of all reloaders is safety.Every Handloader book or magazine you pick up that is the focus of each article, Safety, it is beat into every reloader from day one. To paint all reloaders with a broad brush and say Remington's problem was caused by reloaders is just not so.

I am not painting all reloaders with a broad brush. Slam fires do occur, although they are extremely rare. My estimate is maybe 10 over 60 years. That is not a common problem.

Primer position is a point that I take special care to investigate for each round. I look at the base of the each cartridge critically and feel the base for any problems.

Sorry if I offended all our reloaders. It was not intended to paint reloaders as being technically challenged.
