Well, my dad and my BIL have both gotten handguns recently and are all excited about reloading. My dad has a 9mm, my BIL a .40 and I have both.
I guess my problem is that my best friend has me paranoid about reloads and the possibility of the gun going "ka-boom" in my hands. Some of this is because a guy that taught our CCW class had this happen to him and he's been reloading for 30yrs.
What typically causes a major malfunction of a reload and can it absolutely be avoided if you are being strict about the process of reloading?
Also, can you guys give me a good idea as to what the cost will typically run for reloading a 100 rounds?
Sure I'd love cheaper ammo but I'm not thrilled about the idea of having to pick up brass and spend time reloading and adding the possibility of ruining a gun and sustaining injuries. I'm definately the type to shoot more often than my dad and BIL so I'm not so sure why they are so hot about wanting to reload.
