I disagree, Sean. I reload based on wall thickness for the brass and decide how many reloads after the first firing. I collect my brass in batches and reload in those batches keeping careful records. The breech chamber of any gun can certainly contain a cartridge failure of any kind but getting the brass out after a failure can be very hard and may even damage the breech. Also, they can fail in a more spectacular manner in a semi-automatic weapon.
It's a personal choice. I had a 9mm fail once by dropping its primer which then impaled itself on the firing pin. Easy enough to fix but the gasses escaping near my cheek and hand caused a bit of stippling. The brass didn't eject properly and I had a cocked cartridge in the loading ramp which cleared quite easily.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.
