Had a buddy do same with a Norinco 1911A1.... Loaded 9 gr of 231 vs 4.5 and the thing sounded like super vel’s of days gone by ..... But stayed together long enough to sell it to me.... Still running strong but that 9grs of 231 is a rocket ....:o)

I reload and or weigh all my carry ammo, my reloading room has a dehumidifier and is air conditioned for a perfect 0% humidity and 70 degrees temperature ..... Commercial ammo is always suspect IMO.

Components stored properly last for decades. Roll yer own folks.

Stay safe !...:o)

Thanks.

And, it is sometimes hard to stay safe today. Looks like it will be worse in the future.

I just picked up 600 rounds of Remington Golden Saber nickel plated brass .357 magnum, 125 gr JHPs. I paid over a dollar a round for it. Not real happy about it but you gotta get what you can when you can these days. Any thoughts about the nickel plated brass as far as reloading?

Fast burning powders like Bullseye absolutely require visual inspection of the charged cases before bullet seating, because a double charge will not overflow the case. I have a very powerful LED lamp that I use for this operation. I've never found a double charge, but I did catch an empty case once or twice over the years.

"If in doubt, dump it out!"

Smart thinking.
