NO. Never owned one.

Probably the best way to know if your loads are safe is to purchase an old...old Lyman Reloading Manual or Speer going back 30 years.

Nobody was worried about liabilities and the charges were right up there with flat primers.

The spread from 28 to 36 is really far. You could get a detonation from too little powder and too much air space. It's rare, usually happens with Bullseye. Instead of a burn, you get an explosion. Reduced loads can be as dangerous as compressed loads.

I"d take the max charge in a reliable book and back it off just a few grains, look for primer flattening and take it from there.
