You assume that cartridge was to SAAMI specs. Without anything more than the OPs word (and he's already omitting a ton), none of us know that to be the case. A double charge, or the wrong powder, could lead to catastrophic events in most any firearm.
JoeBob, you continue to make this a mini-crusade, but we don't have much of anything to go on at this point. And, it's certainly not like jury instructions are even written wrong, or juries make a serious mistake on a verdict...
I don't assume anything. I'm merely making the point that the mere fact that a cartridge is hand loaded does not make it unsafe and that therefore, THAT one fact in and of itself is not enough to absolve a company of liability.
