On reloads: there is a difference between reloads and handloads. There are people good at it and people not so good at it, just as any discipline. Good handloads are better than the best factory ammo, but bad handloads are worse than most al factory ammunition.

Absolute truth. I always take a spare gun and have lent them out and even went to them myself a time or two. If you travel and invest the money etc...in a class, it's really mandatory I think. There's a lot on the line--time, expense etc... to get sidelined by a gun that goes down.
