Thread: Don't skip the checks!

I loaded some ammo this afternoon.
After weighing powder into the cases my usual procedure is to take the reloading block under the overhead light to check all cases have powder, and the level looks the same in all cases. In the past I sometimes skipped this check, and ended up with a few rounds with no powder - thankfully discovered before trying to fire them!
Anyway, when doing the check today I noticed one case looked quote a bit fuller than the others. I reweighed the powder and it was about 47 grains instead of 42.5! Damn glad I did the check, I don't know how it happened, I checked several of the other powder charges and they were all correct.
It would have been a fairly warm load!
