    But the real question here is did you get an extra free bullet or get ripped off by half a bullet?

    This undermines my confidence that every single bullet in a box will be the same weight and calibre, let alone the same batch.

    It makes me feel inclined to run a micrometer and scales over each projectile before loading.

    Talking about unexpected items, I once found a fly withot wings in my can of AR 2208.

    After a thoughtful root cause analysis I concluded it probably flew too close to the desk lamp I have by the reloading bench, got fried and fell into the hopper on my chargemaster.

    Now I always put the lid on and although I use the lamp to visually check theres powder in each case I keep it away from straight above them and cover cases wih a cloth until Im just about to fill them.

    That's the OCD in us reloaders.
