    A word for the wise from the complacent

    Accidentally loaded 162 yesterday rather than 150 didn’t notice until I picked up the brass I’d blown 3 from 5 primers, the kicker was my eyes were on the chrono as I was validating a load before ordering my cds and the numbers were perfect same velocity as the 150 even the same average sd I did notice tight bolt lift and thought I’d left a bit of oil in the chamber from a good clean looked at that brass had a good stamp but primer intact and continued teach me for having the lid off 2 box’s at once . If something doesn’t seem right chances are it isn’t stop and have a good look first mistake was wrong projectile second was assuming abit of oil left in chamber upped the pressure 3rd was shooting the rest.
