Reloading Dangers

At Titan Reloading, we work hard to support the growth of the reloading community and to inspire

new shooters to take up the hobby. Reloading is cost-effective, enjoyable, and safe — as long as it is

done according to established safety protocols. However, working with your own reloading supplies

does carry inherent risks, and it’s important to understand these risks before you start down the

reloading path.

Consider the following when determining whether reloading is right for you:

Injuries and Firearm Damage

Double-charging a round or using too much powder

can create a dangerous situation that can result in

permanent damage to your firearm or personal

injury. This is one of many reasons it is

recommended you only reload when you can work

uninterrupted and with full focus. Old shell casings

can crack, working with lead is always slightly

risky, and ignoring manufacturer guidelines can

create hazardous situations.

Do not start reloading if you’re not prepared to

give it your full attention and follow established guidelines.

Reliability

As a rule, reloaded ammunition is more reliable and more accurate than factory ammunition. However,

this is only true when the reloader understands the reloading process and uses his or her reloading

supplies correctly. Failure to follow instructions could put you in a vulnerable position. You must be

ready to accept responsibility for the performance of your ammunition.

Again, reloading is only for people ready to take it seriously and approach it with the proper care.

Titan Reloading offers free reloading clinics every month that cover the basics of reloading supplies

and established safe practices. For further information or any questions about reloading, good habits,

or how to ensure your ammunition always performs as expected, contact us at 262.244.7023 or visit
