I understand the desire to get the mission done, but reloading without formal school training is not something that I would ever do for the Job.

A close friend is a retired Deputy from a department in California. He was the range officer for that department for almost 10 years and competed often. That department would re-load.

I know other department that use to do that too. Problem, I think you are eluding too, there are reloaders and then there are reloaders that are clueless. Most reloaders I know have decades of experience and also a commonality is not trusting someone else's reloads (unless they know that person).

Progressive presses have their own unique reloading errors. Especially if methodology is broken or interrupted. I really can not offer any other suggestions to what has already been said. I am waiting to find out what happened.
