As a novice I place my trust in my local gunsmith to once over my new acquisitions to check headspace etc..
As to hand loading I have not done any in many years but am considering getting back into the hobby as my collection grows and ammo prices spiral out of sight. I have watched several videos recently (youtube etc..)that show some pretty poor practices that could cause double charging a case. Example (loading a full tray of primed cases without transfering the loaded cases to a new tray or seating the projectile after charging. Reloading requires a great deal of orginazation and concentration to do safely. Saftey first!
