I followed the rules, kept to the manual loads, worked up every load for each rifle and kept my digits and skin otherwise intact. That's me...
We have people come in the shop who won't reload due to horror stories they've heard. We also have people come in who ask but won't take advice. One "blew up" a nice Krag carbine a couple of weeks back. Another asks incessant questions wanting more detail, apparently, but never asking more than "Why?" He never listens either.
