Default Ok I screwed up....

rule number 1 only do one thing at a time. Only have 1 type of powder sitting out at one time as well. I just dumped probably 1000gr of varget into my almost full pound of 4350. Gosh freaking idiot. i am glad I caught it though and not put it up for future use. I was about midway through the dumping process when I figured out what I was doing. There is $17 just pissed away. So fellow reloaders, PAY ATTENTION WHEN LOADING AMMO THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PROCESS EVEN AFTER YOU ARE DONE AND PUTTING UP YOUR STUFF. Jus sayin...

This is true. I just always think, one little screw up can cost you.

good tip....never can be too careful, I only have one powder...I am paranoid enough so now I will never have a second powder. You know what they say, "it happens"....good lesson though......go shoot and take off some stress!

The Pino still got you beat....will have every one beat....Squib King rules all!

I do not shoot. I just reload. The only time I shoot is at an animal or testing new loads. I am saving all my ammo for if they get stupid enough to try and take my guns. Jus sayin...

That sucks, . However, it's much better than the alternative of attempting to use the powder.
