[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1386999, member: 4191"] That may be a better process for you. And I've read where others also consider it the safer method to avoid errant powder charges. However I much prefer charging all cases prior to seating a single bullet into any of them. All cases are positioned side by side in the loading block. I then visually examine the powder height in each case, compared to all adjacent cases. Any significant deviation is quickly apparent. The powder charge in any suspicious case is reweighed. Only after this visual examination do I seat a bullet in any of the powder charged cases. This method provides an additional QA/QC inspection that's not available if bullets are seated immediately after powder charging the case. My method has prevented me from seating bullets in mischarged cases in the past, and I will not readily sacrifice this additional QA/QC inspection, as a consequence. I consider this visual comparison of the powder columns in each casing to be amongst the most important QA/QC step in my reloading process. But I'm prepared to read about any perceived benefit to the - charge a case - seat a bullet - one at a time method. If the benefits outweigh my process, I can change - maybe... However painful changing can be. [/QUOTE]
