ENOUGH GUYS
« on: July 21, 2011, 03:04:19 PM »
In the last couple days there have been some posts that are running from just plain Odd to down right Dangerous , I'm going to start dumping posts that are on the dangerous side .
 
This is a Handloading forum --- NOT --- a what-if I do this will it go bang idea forum !
 
We all want to have a safe hobby and do not want ideas on the net that may get someone hurt badly , so use some brains here people .

Curious about what the posts were about...
 
Guess I missed them...
 
Are they still available to look at by some of us experienced reloaders who don't need to have our hands held?...

BCB, if it's the one I read, some guys were telling some stupid things they did, mostly in their younger days.  it was pretty funny.  they did have a warning not to do this at home.
don't remember the forum or thread.

I gotta agree with stimpylu32.....let's keep this a viable reloading forum and  the  keep Dumb-azz stuff on youtube.

            I read one the other day on a different Forum that I couldn't beleive ! Nor could I beleive the responces to it !  The title was ( Unsafe 25-06 load ) . This guy was starting out with 55 Gr. of IMR-4831 And he was supposedly using a Hornady Manual . Well that load wasn't accurate ( no mention of pressure signs ) So he goes on to say that he loaded 15 more rounds . 5 at 45 Gr. 5 at 35 Gr. and Five at 25 Gr.  what in the world ! He didn't get that from any Manual , the max load for the 25-06 with a 100 Gr. Hornady and 4831 is 55.9 Gr. in my Hornady Vol. 4 Manual .  So he's starting at the top and working his way backwards ! The responces he got were asking about twist rates and such nonsence ! Hell this guy is a danger to himself and anybody near him , when shooting his Ammo . My responce was that he needed to read the 96 pages before the reloading data or get a Mentor or better yet , both ! Now if I ruffled his Feathers , that's just too bad ! If I made him think , I accomplished my mission . He was going against everything that I've learned in 44+ years of safe reloading and I just had to tell him so !
