Yeah, I hear you on that, I've used the same criteria for as long as I've loaded with never a split case or even a blown primer, ..........every time this subject comes up it's the same old song.

Problem is, there are lots of reloaders who really don't understand all aspects & who are truly dangerous.......not gonna say reckless, just not genuinely knowledgeable, and hence, tend to get themselves (and maybe others) into trouble.

And then the schitt splatters all over everyone else who doesn't take the ultra conservative POV.
