I reload.
A lot.
I’m more worried about bad primers and squib loads than double charges.
And a squib will wreck your whole day if you don’t recognize it ...
“...And a squib will wreck your whole day if you dont recognize it ...”
Agreed. I reload quite a bit myself. A squib is bad news if you don’t catch it.
I used to shoot USPSA pistol matches every weekend...at least a couple hundred rounds/week. I was standing next in line behind the active shooter at the starting point of the scenario. He started out with his double-taps once the timer went off. He had a squib followed up by a double-charge on a quick double tap. The pistol was a 1911-style .45 tricked out race gun for this type of shooting. It blew all his fingers off and destroyed most of his right hand, blew the magazine out the bottom of the gun hitting and breaking his foot. Obviously, the gun was a total loss and he was in pretty bad shape for quite a long while. Powder burns take a long time to heal.
I came away from it with developing a whole new procedure for my reloading efforts to avoid squibs and double charges. That’s why I don’t trust most other folks’ reloads. I reload strictly for myself.
