Exactly - well put.


I wonder if this is like saying, "Most tire blow-outs on Trans-Ams involve mag rims, so mag rims must be the culprit."?
Never mind the fact that most Trans-Ams wear mag rims.

Similarly, because of the special dietary needs of vintage guns, I'd guess that a high percentage of such guns are fed reloads. So yes, when a vintage gun blows there is a good chance the shell in it was a reload. But is there a relationship?
