OUCH !!!! the guy probably left them there because He/she had no more pistol left to shoot um through.
I have shot other peoples reloads, in an old Stevens 30-30 bolt action and clip fed.
He loaded Me up some very nice loads with point tip boolits, I never ever thought a 30-30 could shoot that good, fast and flat but not over done on the recoil. very nice loads.
The second person I trusted to reload, was an "Old Timer", I was shooting an old winchester model 70 bolt action .308.
He loaded Me up some 125 grain booolits and I am not sure about the powder, He probably had it wrote down on the box.
Those were some fantastic loads, for long range and very accurate. I could not believe the difference between His loads and the factory loads I had been shooting.
The third person I trusted to reload was for My 45 ACP, Colt Combat Commander. I think His loads was what blew up that fine old pistol.
I am new to reloading, there is a lot that I do not know, nor am I sure about. I ask questions, I even go up the Yellowstone hill and visit the folks at the RamShot powder company. Very good folks to deal with, and are willing to take the time and even show Me by loading a few rounds for Me, and allowing Me to do the loading too.
Here is the powder that I have decided to use, I think it is a very good powder, with the Mil. Spec. rifles in mind.
