A Reloading tip so simple, it will only take a moment to talk about, and even less time to do.
A fair percentage of reloads that cause problems are the result of cartridges loaded with no powder, or a charge significantly different than planned.
When loading single stage, a moment with a flashlight looking down at the racked cases can assure the hand loader that every case has powder in it, and all the levels look roughly the same.
For those loading on a progressive press, a strong light positioned to aim directly into the charged case is a good idea, letting the operator glance in to see the charge in place before pulling the handle for the 45,876'th time.
Simple procedures, but priceless in terms of safety.

Yes, look in every case, every time.
Carteach, Thank you for writing the best short instructional comment on beginning and intermediate pistol and rifle ammo reloading that I’ve ever read; I teach reloading at our local TechSchool, and have close to a hundred books on the subject, so I know of what I speak. I appreciate what you’ve written here. I bookmarked your site and now I’m visiting often. You’re a Godsend to all fledglings. Damn man, you’re a STAR here; a Giant Fish in a not so small pond!
That is one reason I like the powder check on my Dillon 650. It has audible alarm if over/under charged case.
