+1. I would choose peace of mind over anything. Better safe and be able to sleep restfully at night than be nursing an injured body part.
I know how you feel.
Once when I first started reloading, I mixed up some load data for another powder (yup, I was in a rush and distracted). When I got to the range and shot the first round, instead of the "bang" I was expecting, I got "BOOM!". After bringing the pistol down from above my head, I knew exactly what I had done.
After checking for body injury and soiled underwear (it was dry
), I packed up and drove home saying, "Boy, I won't ever DO THAT again!" After that incident, talk about me being "gun shy"!!!
With determination, I sat down and went over my reloading steps and made a step-by-step checklist and added Quality Control (QC) checks into my reloading procedures. Whatever steps that made me wonder or gave me the "bad feeling," I modified the practice and/or added the proper QC check. Perhaps you can review your reloading steps and modify and/or add QC steps?
