Would you shoot someone else's reloads?

Gil,

"One more thing", as Columbo would say. Whenever I visit a friend, who is also a reloader, I LOOK for POWDER DISCIPLINE! Does this guy have ONE Powder Can on the bench at a time or does he have a wheelbarrow full of cans of powder here and there?

I NEVER go to my bench with any more than ONE can of powder! When whatever reloading task is finished, I empty the powder measure and scale and TOTALLY remove that can of powder FROM the Reloading Room BEFORE the NEXT can of powder makes its entry onto the reloading bench. This IS why I have lived to age 66. Speed is fine and STUPIDY is FINAL! Our gun club has a Rouges" Gallery of destroyed guns on display because some reloaders had Brain Farts. Reloaders can be remiss, but Physics are FINAL!

Generally speaking, no....I would not shoot someone else's reloads. I've pulled bullets from handloads and reused the cases & bullets (or in the case of some, melted them down and recasted them). I would REALLY have to trust someone else in order to shoot their reloads.....and right now, I don't know anyone I trust that much.
