Reminds me of this phone complaint....

Anyone remember when pretty much all commercial bullets came with 101 in the box? I think it was just a "good measure" thing, in case whoever packed the boxes missed one.
I noticed that they stopped doing that a couple decades ago, figured it had to do with better automation in the packaging process or something.
I remember the shock when the IMR PB was in less than pound containers. but then again, I used so little of it there was no major impact on my loads.
I do that with some of my non-traditional bullet selections in my less common calibers/chamberings. 19 rounds in a 20 round box only looks odd for a while.Hornady placed 101 bullets in their boxes of 100 so that you could make up a dummy round and still have an even number of loaded cartridges.
If you look at old loading manuals they all instructed the reloaded to make a dummy round and use that to set your dies in subsequent loading sessions.
Not a bad I idea actually, I've done that for a few loads with good results.
