first carbine unboxing

Very good reasons, and I'm sure you are an expert, but even experts need some quality control, you can't do it yourself, esp. when your dealing with ammo.

I think it was ole Abe that said: The man who defends himself in court, has a fool for a lawyer and a jackass for a client.

I agree, I have many many friends who have reloaded most of their adult lives and every single one of them has had at least a couple accidents whether it be equipment failure, or just simply got distracted that one time, which is all it takes. Had a friend that accidentally double charged a casing without realizing it, bye bye expensive Colt Python. He was lucky he came out without one single scratch. I am OCD by nature, but I am also human and make mistakes so I have always been more comfortable with factory loads. I'll shoot an average of six or 7,000 rounds a year of various calibers year after year and all I have ever experienced is the occasional dud, can't say I have ever experienced anything"hot" that at least wasn't supposed to be. Another reason I have always decided not to reload is simply times sake, I don't have much of it, that would cut too much into my shooting time haha
