Had a seating stem jam sideways in a Hornady die, during assembly.
It wasn't kind to the first case.

Me neither. And I can't say that happened to me once either!

It'll iron out.
We all make mistakes. I grabbed my 6ai wilson seater and took me a second to figure out why my 257ai wouldnt go in it all the way. Two identical boxes. Next time read read read.

This is from a few years back… 358 whoops!
Pretty flat shoulder angle there.
No trimming for a while

I had a bone head moment last night. I try to be clear headed anytime I am reloading. Somehow I mistakenly pulled the Redding 308win bullet seater out instead of the 280ai. The 40 degree shoulder was quickly destroyed. I guess there is a first time for everything.
This situation only cost me one piece of brass, but reinforced the need to double check every step in the process.

I always seem to learn faster once I make the mistake. That being said it sometimes takes me a couple times of making the mistake before that light bulb goes off.

Yeah whenever I get the time to load I try and collect my thoughts and get a handle on where I'm at on what cartridge/rifle (or pistol) combo and what cycle it's brass is in before I even start. I have a lot to keep track of and the times I've just went out to the garage and started banging away I always seem to make mistakes and or ruin stuff. As expensive as it is it can make you sick and smart really quick.

I wouldn't worry about it.
No harm no foul.
All of this is done on a learning curve.
Wishing you all the best.
