I have indeed personally seen 1 gun, and photos of several others that have self destructed in similar manner with factory ammo. So, it does happen. But, as noted, it is very, very rare if the right ammunition is used for each gun.

As with almost anything else, there are probably people involved in the hobby of reloading who likely shouldn't be. If you're short on patience and don't like to read, it's probably not for you. If you like to experiment or take shortcuts with little concern over what might happen, it's probably not for you.

As a reloader since 1976, I'm fortunate to be able to say that I've never had a double charged load, and only 1 squib. But, I'm not done yet, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed...
