Joe:

I have fired hundreds of compressed rounds that I picked up off ranges and have never had a KB with any of them. I do not believe that was the cause of your problem.

My suspicion would be wrong/mixed powder or overcharges.

Personally, I would never use anything that the guy loaded again, would see if his insurance would cover the damaged weapons, and would stick to factory loaded ammo, unless you really like living on the edge for $50 per thousand.

Just my .02, YMMV.
