[QUOTE="SteveBurton, post: 2992203, member: 59541"] There is lots of good info in this post and you can find a ton more if you search these forums. I will add this... -Only have one powder on the bench when you are reloading for a particular cartridge and double check that it is correct. When I first started out, I had all my powder lined up at the back of my bench. I was loading for my 270WSM and instead of grabbing the H4350, I grabbed the H4198. I was just looking for the color of the label and they were very similar 25 years ago. Loaded some ammo and went to the range. My Winchester M70 exploded on the first shot. Split the front of the receiver, blew the barrel off, shattered the stock and broke the Leupold scope in half. God was looking over me that day because the only injury I sustained was a fiberglass splinter in my hand. Since then, I double and triple check every component that goes on my bench when reloading to verify it is correct. I may be slower than others but it's worth it to me. [/QUOTE]
