Big take away here is that shooting is a buddy system sport.

[38-40]

A neighbor rechambered a rem 700 30-06 to an Ackley improved  and a friend gave him some reloads to try one must have had a double powder charge and blew it up. Lesson learned if you did not load it or not factory new don't trust it. Fortunately no serious injuries but one ruined gun.

Absolutely, I won't let anyone shot my hand loads. I'm confident my loads are as they should be, but refuse to let others shoot them, Plus I'd feel awful if something happened and it was my fault

Using second, third and 4th hand loads is questionable.  This could have been avoided.   

That said, I. blew up a Glock when I thought I had the bases covered.  I was half a gram under what I worked up to and there weren't any pressure issues at the hotter level.

The thing I screwed up on was PPU brass that didn't retain the sizing.  It instead sprang back and didn't hold the bullet tight.  I'd guess the slide stripping the round and chambering it set the bullet back and that is all it took.  It turned a lively round into a kaboom.

I suppose comparing 10mm to a 50 BMG is like comparing a black cat firecracker to a stick of dynamite.  I compare the way my hand felt to getting stung by a old wood bat.  He damn near got killed with lifelong consequences.
