Knowing what NOT to do is just as important as knowing what to do.

I sense a story here....

Don't smoke would be my first rule.

Don't walkaway from the bench during a session for any amount of time other than to pee.

Catheter solves that.

Drinking and reloading don't mix...

 

[awshoot]

Only one bottle of powder on the bench surface at a time, leave it there while powder is in the powder measure, put it away when done with it.

Only one bottle of powder on the bench surface at a time,

And it doesn't hurt to put a piece of tape on the powder measure with the powder name on it - especially if you have more than one measure on your bench - like I do.

I know not to vacume up live primers while ankle deep in gasoline so I'm all set.

I always label the hopper with what powder (well, unless it's Red Dot which I use a lot of) is in it too.. and what it's set to throw with that powder.

Catheter solves that.

Now that's "Hardcore" reloading!

Dont get in a hurry!

I was in a hurry. I combined two groups of brass to make 100 308 rounds.

One group had about 20 that hadn't had the second neck resizing after the trim and deburr.

They felt different when the bullets were seated.

They were set aside for close range speed practice.

In chemistry, its "don't lick the spoon"

In reloading, it's probably "don't use a lighter to look inside the powder jug"

Weigh the new powder bottle and make sure your powder dropper is calibrated to that density.

Don't ask.

My densometer is finely calibrated, yo.
