Recargar
La recarga requiere diligencia adicional.
If you're an ammunition reloader, you are responsible for personally assuring that the loads and components of your reloaded ammunition meet your gun's factory-tested standards. Never use ammunition which has been reloaded by someone else!
Muchos tiradores cargan manualmente como pasatiempo o para ahorrar dinero en municiones comerciales fabricadas en fábrica. Sin embargo, requiere un conocimiento profundo de los procedimientos de recarga y un profundo respeto por el potencial explosivo de la pólvora.
Firearms are designed, manufactured and proof-tested to standards based on factory loaded ammunition. Handloaded or reloaded ammunition that deviates, either intentionally or inadequately, from load or component recommendations can be very dangerous. Reloaders must observe all possible safety precautions and practices related to the proper handling of explosives. Whether you're a seasoned reloader or just starting out, you should study the subject, watch reloading demonstrations and talk to experienced reloaders.
The first rule of reloading is to always follow the manufacturer's instructions for the components you're using. They'll tell you to follow certain guidelines. Namely:
- Don't mix or substitute powders or primers.
- Don't use unknown or substandard components.
- Utilice únicamente componentes adecuados que hayan sido probados en fábrica por fabricantes acreditados de municiones, pólvora y balas.
- Always be sure to use the manufacturer's recommended recipe when reloading.
No seguir estas pautas podría provocar daños graves a su arma de fuego o a usted mismo. Una sobrecarga de pólvora, el uso de la pólvora incorrecta, una selección incorrecta del disparo u otras desviaciones de las pautas de recarga establecidas pueden provocar presiones peligrosamente altas y explosiones. Ten mucho cuidado.
El proceso de recarga lo expone a materiales ambientalmente peligrosos. El plomo es la sustancia más común en balas y perdigones. Es importante manipular las balas y perdigones de plomo con sumo cuidado. Trabaje únicamente en un área bien ventilada y lávese siempre las manos después de la exposición y antes de comer. Nunca fume mientras recarga.
Primers and powders are also highly toxic and flammable. So after reloading, be sure to clean up all materials from your work area. Don't leave primer or powder spills anywhere on the floor or bench top. Dispose of all waste materials in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Finally, when reloading or handloading concentrate on what you're doing at all times. Do not be distracted by talking to others, listening to the radio or watching TV while reloading. Never reload after or while consuming alcoholic beverages or drugs of any kind. You are working with extremely hazardous materials and you can't risk even a few seconds of distraction. Remember, if you reload, you are the ammunition manufacturer and you are responsible for the performance and safety of your reloaded ammunition.
