Until one goes off through the shop wall and into the neighbors house, killing a kid. I get sick and tired of hearing about you stupid fu cks doing this. Yes, check your brass for fit. You should never have to check your loaded rounds unless you have no concept of how to set your dies or know where the lands are. What you guys are doing is a rookie move. Not a great suggestion
Your language is pretty offensive there, sir, and presumes a person is violating the primary rules of gun safety. If someone is not capable of insuring the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction while chambering a round, they have no business owning a firearm, much less handloading. For those who are capable of insuring the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction when chambering a round, then chambering that round is safe, period.
Even though 90% of my rifles have a middle safety position that locks the firing pin while working the action, I still make certain the muzzle is pointed safely before I ever chamber a round, in any circumstance, and with any weapon.
I wouldn't dream of hunting with loads I hadn't run through the chamber.
