On the subject of handload data and inexperienced and unknowing reloaders...I'll relate a little story about a event that happened several years ago, and then I'll jump outta this one before it gets too far off track.
Two young country boys, flush with their 21st birthdays and new-found ability to obtain a pistol permit, came into a shop and bought a SA revolver. I can't remember the brand name, but do remember that it was in caliber .45 Colt. While the paperwork was being processed, they announced that they intended to reload for the gun...and that they were going to shoot it the Cowboy Way...with lead bullets and 30 grains of blackpowder. They also purchased a hundred Speer swaged lead 250-grain SWC bullets. They already had the powder and primers, and planned to use borrowed equipment until they could save their dimes and buy their own.
Two days later, one of'em came back with the most thoroughly smithereened revolver I'd ever seen. His pard was in the hospital, having undergone surgery and facing at least two more to reconstruct what was left of the hand. The store owner began questioning the lad, asking what the hello sort of data he'd used...and the kid said that it was 30 grains of black powder...and produced a bottle of Accurate Arms No. 5 that a friend have given them a few weeks prior to the purchase of the gun...stating that it was a good pistol powder. (They hadn't yet decided on a gun yet...only that they wanted to roll their own ammo.)
Well..AA #5 is black, after all...
Given the level of destruction, I said that he was lucky to be alive. His friend agreed.
While this was an extreme situation, it demonstrates that you simply can't bet on the experience or intelligence level of the aspiring handloader when posting information on a public forum and forgetting about it. The search function drags up posts from the beginning. I can't count the number of beginners who have been stopped from using Ruger Only snot knocker loads in New Vaqueros because they just happened to mention it on a gun forum. I'd be afraid to guess how many have gone ahead with the Ruger Only data in New Vaqueros and learned the difference between a NV and a Blackhawk the hard way..contemplating what had gone wrong while waiting on a gurney in an ER.
Speaking of Ruger Only data and Blackhawks...Ruger has never given the green light for those loads, and assume no responsibility for anyone who uses them or advocates the same. Their owner's manual states that they assume no liability for the use of handloaded or overloaded ammunition...period. Call them and ask if the Ruger Only data is safe, and they'll give you a resounding: "Not no...but hell no!"
