    Ruger wasn't a gun problem guy said he had issues with other guns, he reloads his own, bad or wet powder and bad primers.

    OE on the CZ didn't clear the gun and pulled the trigger, not a malfunction, other than operator malfunction.

    Glock - double charge cartridge, another OE reloader error, nothing wrong with the gun said he double charged (double powder drop in reloading) a round...

    That .454 load looked like it was compressed. Never liked to use compressed loads. Heard of ignition problems with compressed loads.

    I think compressed loads are a bad idea too. Seems simple enough to change power and build up a better recipe.

    Reloading is a step by step process and don't allow interruptions quickest way to screw up.

    "Did a lot of re-loading about 20 yrs ago. Enjoyed it much. Caution and dependable research was the key. Never had any problems and enjoyed it very much. With the knowledge that was available you could really do a lot.
