BTW, why does glock have to add to the confusion factor with .45 GAP?

This can also serve as a reminder to reloaders that even a big factory can make mistakes with propellant charges. It’s crucial to make sure everything is right every time with every round.
To: PowderMonkey
All I can say is I have seen Glocks kaboom.
I have never seen a 1911 kaboom
1911! 100 YEARS OF PERFECTION!

They could have the wrong powder in the cases, they could have substantially too much. The loads could vary from round to round. Get a double charge and watch out.
To: PowderMonkey
Learned it the hard way. About 15 years ago, I bought a bag of gun show reloads for my Glock mod 30. This was before I met the missus and we migrated to SIGs in .40
The first three rounds, no problemo. Then - kaboom! Fortunately, the gun retained the slide, but the grip body was cracked, the slide distorted and the magazine was spat out the gun along with the unexpended rounds. Wasn't hurt aside from a little numbness to my hand and I had to pick a couple of pieces of brass out of my face.
The lesson here is obvious - don't ever buy gun show reloads! Never did find the guy who sold 'em, BTW. He was basically MIA from then on. I'm guessing that I wasn't the only dissatisfied customer.

Yes and yes. Depending on the choice of powder, it is possible to double charge and in some powders, nearly triple charge the .45 ACP case.
You double charge a .45 ACP round, you’re gonna have a bad time. You triple charge a case, you’re gonna have a worse time. Even in a 1911.

Reason #1,393,048 to roll your own.For practice, yeah, I agree. Even though I haven't for years. But roll your own for a real encounter (that's not apocalyptic SHTF)? NEVER ... for so many reasons.
To: Noumenon
I roll all my own from once fired factory brass that I fired. That and I only use two powders, Bullseye and Unique for that caliber. And I NEVER have them both on the bench at the same time. Never.
I'm so anal about it I do them all on a single stage press. Call me a reactionary but I just don't trust those fancy shmancy progressive jobs.

I admit to being a bit paranoid sometimes, but whenever there's a spate of these occurrences (unexplained Kb!s), I'm reminded of a little project conducted by SOG:
