[QUOTE="marksman1941, post: 2991968, member: 68542"] Do not load when you’re tired, drinking, or distracted. I loaded for 15 years without incident, and then made a mistake that was pretty major. Using a published book load and high density powder, loading some low recoil loads for my wife, I ended up double charging a case. Very rarely can a rifle case accept a double charge of powder, but in this instance it was able to. My biggest mistake was loading early in the morning when I couldn’t sleep, and wasn’t 100% mentally on point. The double charge blew up a rifle and could have seriously hurt my wife. Thank god we came out of it better than I could have hoped, but it was a sobering reminder how dangerous the game can be if you aren’t doing your part properly. So, pay attention, double and triple check everything every single time, don’t get complacent. [/QUOTE]
