Article in Hanloader Magazine

[paulo57509]

IMO, if the rifle is in spec, properly maintained and the handloader pays attention to detail the risk of slam fires is minimized to almost none chance. Big "if"....

Because we live in a highly litigious society, I think the author is being overly cautions with regards to slam fires and exploding rifles; he's just adding a strong disclaimer. Heck, the basis of that entire magazine can open up a whole lot of litigation.

The "stripper clip" statement in that article caught my attention too.

Had a slam fire with issued ball ammo at Camp Perry years ago - rifle had a extra power spring - never had another after I replaced the spring
