A personal decision, Ted. I respect that.
I recently had to decide if I was capable of safely loading for the M1 Garand rifle.
That's a different platform than I'm experienced with, and there are safety concerns that simply must be addressed lest one end up having a bad day.
In the end, I obtained the correct dies, primers, and gauges to assemble the equal of factory ammunition safety wise with the added benefit of a tad less recoil. My cartridges are better for the rifle than anything available commercially.
The key is to realize that people are fallible and anyone who claims to have never made a reloading mistake is simply a liar.
I hope I'm able to identify the age at which I should no longer load. I've seen quite a few older guys who just can't do it anymore yet they persist. The endless parade of duds gets annoying and we always wonder when the extra powder charge will show itself...
