[QUOTE="nemesis, post: 3530863, member: 12082"] Like I said, I'm sure in 9 of 10 cases all is well. It's just not worth it to me. When I first started shooting, as a teen, I bought some reloads from a mom and pop store. I knew the owners personally. Two of the reloads turned out to be hangfires. Hammer dropped. Sizzle. Nothing. Then they went off. It was just dumb luck I didn't pop open the cylinder to see what was wrong. Like I said, just be careful. These are desperate times and unconscionable people are seeing $$$ signs. If someone were to sell black powder in an old Alliant Unique container, how's the buyer going to be made whole (legal concept) if the seller has zero net worth? It's not worth the risk. [/QUOTE]
