[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1694094, member: 2736"] I almost go in to solitary because distractions can be dangerous. I learned years ago not to load while my children were up and I would not be distracted. I started cleaning everything off my loading bench except what I was going to use and it may have saved me when I loaded some ammo and noticed that I had several different powders within reach and when I pulled one bullet I realized I couldn't be sure which powder I had used and had to pull and dump every load to be sure. not knowing which powder I had used also meant that I couldn't pore it back in ether one so I had to dispose of all of It. A small price for a little piece of mind. I realize that I am anal about many things, but with over 50 years of re loading I have not encountered anything that good procedures could not overcome, so as things like this happened I simply changed my procedure to safe guard against problems that can be eliminated. Unfortunately, the more we do something the more complacent we get. So I try to follow a regimented procedure that becomes routine that has these safeguards built in, like turning my phone off. :):):) J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
