Re: Handloading for ths Ishy?

Just about all guns have a warning about using reloads.  I am guessing 
that it is about liability protection.  The gun manufacture doesn't want 
to be sued if someone loads a hot round and the gun blows up or uses old 
brass and the head seperates and gets metal in someones eye.

I wouldn't worry about it.  Just load to the standard specs for the 
round and you should be fine.  Just don't go running to the manufacture 
for a warrenty repair if something goes wrong.  I know a lot of people 
that would have no problem lieing for a warrentee claim.
