[QUOTE="Bbear, post: 1553133, member: 7898"] Just a few to add: 1) ONLY ONE CAN OF POWDER on the bench at a time. Loading 50 or 100 and then realizing you 'might' have put the wrong powder in can really suck gravy train. 2) Write down EVERYTHING about the load - Lot #'s of powder, primer, bullets, cases and the load itself as well as the results (I like the idea of taking a picture of every group) 3) When in doubt, DON"T LOAD THE SHELLS. If you think they can go 'one more loading' trash them. A new rifle isn't cheap. Neither is a hospital visit. 4) From personal experience - if you have a fire and have smoke/water/heat/actual fire damage - trash everything and start over. It's a royal pain the backside but those primers or cases or bullets are a lot cheaper than the hospital bill or the new rifle. [/QUOTE]
