I am only like that now after I had a reload blow up in my face and was reloaded by Mark Bridgeman the round was that fucking hot it jammed the bolt shut, the case head was firmly stuck in the bolt face and the case had to be tapped out of the face of the bolt to reveal the case head stamping was no longer there just a bright shiny surface, primer pocket had damned near expanded double its diameter and brass had flowed into the ejector hole, let alone the fucked extractor and chipped boltface. Before then I would fire anyones reloads if they were supplied with a rifle that I would be shooting and even costed me the confidence to fire my own for a while. Costed me a bloody nice rifle that incident which was a remington 788 in .243 and I had only bought it 3 days before hand and those loads were supplied with the rifle I was just lucky that the seller told me who did the loads.
The other part about buying reloads off trademe is how do we even know if the cases are necksized only therefore round not suitable to fire in any other rifle or FL sized to make them suitable for other chambers, is OAL suited for chamber of different rifle as all chambers are not exactly the same especially the throat there fore could end up with the ogive of the bullet being jammed hard into the lands, then there is the fact is the person a stoke it up till she cannot take any more or is the person a conservative reloader who would not go anywhere near book max. Just too much bloody variables to even consider when it comes to the welfare of your face and life. Once I start reloading and have another rifle again I won't even allow anyone to fire the rifle if I only have reloads on me unless I had a couple of factory rounds to spare.
