Yea, and OJ says he was incoinet! If you have confiendece in a mans words then go with it, but it's your life and your gun. Like I said all depends on who did.

Amen to that, I think I will go with the pull the bullet/ salvage case and primer idea then add my own powder for peace of mind.

Like asking "would you date your sister?" No unless you're from Alabama....

So I am basically taking a gamble that the guy knew what he was doing, but damn is that gamble worth a hand or life!

The one and Only time I took some reloads included in a trade was the last time. Never do it!

Shooting reloads done by an individual is a whole different world than shooting commercial reloads. There is a reason why it is illegal to sell reloads unless you have a license to reload commercially. Only idiots think there is no difference.

Everyone else has recommended that you do not shoot them and I will say the same thing. But my reason includes something you said in your OP. that part about the bulged cases. That is what the FBI would call a clue.

Strip the rounds. Play "wack a mole" with a bullet puller save the components.... Reload them yourself.

I've included some of my handloads with a rifle I sold once but they were loaded for that gun and I had complete confidence in them as they were a match load.
