Shooting someone else's reloads

Nah, it's all good. I don't want to be accused of suppressing free speech.

I've gotten a pretty good sample of responses that runs pretty much along the lines I expected. I was interested to find that my reloading mentor said he'd probably try a few rounds with his pistol in a vise, pulling the trigger with a string, and if there weren't any problems just shoot the rest.

overkill! just shoot it man

Would you buy and shoot that ammo?

Buy it? If the price is right.
Shoot it? Absolutely NO.
If I bought it I would take 'em apart & use the brass & bullets.
And use the powder for fireworks or lawn food, or just burn it.

Sorry I'm so late to the thread.

I usually don't own a revolver that I care so little about that clamping in a vise and risking destroying it would be OK. Still seems like as good a thing to do for being an expedient result.
I will add that I have purchased remanufactured ammo in the past. Seems Ultramax 9MM was less expensive than reloading it myself so I purchased a few boxes back in the day. They all shot OK but I could tell there were some that had vastly different recoil/POI so no more of those after I shot them up.
