[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1547505, member: 2736"] Organization !!!! Get everything not needed off of your loading bench except what you will use to load with. Only one powder, primer, dies , brass cases with all the same head stamp and your loading notes. Once you have double checked all the components to verify they are what the recipe calls for, you can begin. One other place to double check is after the cases are prepped, primed and charged with powder, Take the time to look in the cases in the loading block to make sure all powder charges are the same. If one or more looks different than the rest, dump them and re charge them. If it still looks the same you have not hurt anything by checking. The final rule I have is NO DISTRACTIONS. It is to easy to mess up if you don't load in silence and by your self. Some people can multi task well, But this is not recommended when loading Ammo. Start out this way and you will develop good safe habits that will serve you well over time. I have been loading over 50 years and still follow this routine and every now and then during my checks, I find a discrepancy that could have caused a problem. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
