I have reloaded for roughly 30 years. All single stage precision rounds for my rifles. Early in my reloading I also reloaded pistol ammo like 9mm, 40 cal and 45. Back then it wasn't any cheaper so I quit loading for them and just bought the ammo. Now days my kids are getting into shooting and I am contemplating if it is worth it to buy a progressive and reload our 9mm rounds.
The reason I am hesitant is back when I reloaded for our autos I never heard of catastrophic failure of them in relation to reloading error, double charge or other issue. Now days I read about a couple every week, on the Internet of course.
So so what is the reliability when it comes to progressive presses and producing safe ammo. And by safe I mean my kids safe. If I reload a round and it blows up on me that's one thing but for it to happen to the kids is not a chance I am willing to take.
So what do you think?
