It's easy to do, but like so many other things, you need to learn what you're doing and pay attention. The biggest danger from reloading isn't the reloading itself, but what happens later. The most common mistake for people to make is to accidentally create a "squib" round. There's a primer and a bullet, but no powder! The primer will often be strong enough to drive the bullet into the barrel and sometimes even cycle the action, chambering a new round. Want to guess what happens next? Most ranges I've seen have a blown up gun mounted on a plaque or in a gun case to remind people to be carefull.

There is no one that makes a better machine than Dillon. You can't go wrong with one.

Squibs=bad news. Be careful.
