I have always been for NO reloads at range policy, to much to go wrong with by standers if you don't know what you are doing.
Not sure why many still allow it, I have used reloads only for public land plinking. Maybe I am paranoid, but find it hard to trust the
work of people I don't know.
Pretty much all I use is handloads. I don't go over published max book loads. And I keep an eye on velocities and other pressure signs. One thing you'll notice if you belong to a range/club. Generally the members will keep an eye on each other. You know who can be trusted. The ones that can't, generally don't last long. Just what I've seen from being a member at many clubs. I also think it's funny someone would hole heatedly trust factory ammo. I've had more problems (squibs and instances where factory ammo locked up a rifle bolt) with factory ammo than I've had with my handloads. JFYI.. Just sayin.. Like someone else said, if you outlaw handloads at clubs and ranges then there would be a whole heck of a lot of guys that know a whole lot about shooting that would be pretty ticked off... Next you'd want is to ban a rifle because it's too old or something? Man, I'd be screwed..
