[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2561083, member: 122164"] I do not mind different headstamps on brass vs what the caliber is. I dip the base of the case in 1" of Instant Gun blue, and the bottom of the case turns a very dark color and stays that way for many sizings. This is a signal for me to check the caliber. I make a lot of cases out of 308 brass and Lapua 30/06 brass. The darkened part on the bottom of the brass is a "pay attention" kind of note to myself. I reload at the rifle range. Once I was working up a load for a custom 7 STW and a custom 7 Mag at the same time. I got tired after a while and fired a 7 Mag in the 7 STW. Nothing happened but the neck on the 7 Mag was about 1/8" long. I have made that mistake one time, and one time only, never again. Same thing with having several powders on the loading bench at the same time...never have confused powders. [/QUOTE]
