Zippy, I never shoot quality factory ammunition. About a year ago I had two FTF's out of a flat of factory Gun Clubs when the Citori was new and shot a box of Rios a couple of times when I ran out of ammo at the field. Since then I have only had failures with a batch of reloads that were made up the first time I got a MEC Grabber and I let things get out of order a few times when I had a jam and had to clear the turret.

I have known this guy for over a year else I would never had touched his reloads, and only did so as I had never before shot a 3/4 oz load. But you are right and it isn't wise to shoot another's reloads. In fact, 2 weeks ago he offered to let me shoot his XT Trap, but I declined since I didn't want to shoot my reloads through his gun and I had intended to get some factory ammo to have on hand when I had an opportunity to try someone's gun.
