^^^ No doubt!^^^
No, not a shopping error a excuse to buy a new rifle!That's a shopping error. You did well to keep it from becoming a reloading mistake.
Now that ^^^^^^ was entertaining. Thanks for sharing!You all suck. Let me tell you how to take dumb to stupid with one grandkid.
To start off let you all know that I had 5 daughters And when I got grandkids I got 4 grandsons out of 14. Now the last grandson thinks that the sun rises and sets on my ass. He is my constant shadow and if I do it he has to do it. When he was four he informed me that he wanted to reload by his self. Well, I lied my ass off and told him that there was a law that stated that no kid could load until he was six. He was pissed but...we don't break the law. I thought he forgot all about my lie but on his sixth birthday, he let me know that he could reload now.
1. I had to buy him his own press.
Now he is always in the reloading room with me and I have a bad habit of saying words that a little one shouldn't. So in my attempt to fix that I installed a CURSE jar. Each bad word cost me $5.00 that he collects at the end of the day. Well, I used to call him the Brass Monkey / Safety officer. As most of you know I buy and resale Hornady L-N-L presses and I bought a press that the guy had not been able to prime on for 2 years. I had it set up on my maintenance bench and my grandson was dressed in his Bob The Builder safety hat and safety vest and safety glasses with a fire extinguisher on standby. Just as I was installing the first primer on that press in the last 2 years that damn kid shot that fire extinguisher up my ass. I let out a line of curse words that I haven't used since I was in the military. When I looked back at my grandson all I say was his finger jetting out counting each and every curse word.
2. We settled on $100.00 being it was his fault.
About three years ago my grandson and I were doing spring clean up. While I finished running the F.A.R.T. I took the pins out and placed the clean pins on a cooky sheet and was blot drying them while my grandson was sweeping up. Well after I got as much water out of the cooky sheet and was bringing them over to put under the heater and fan when I tripped over the dustpan that damn kid left on the ground. Instead of letting that pan hit the ground and spilling the pins out om my 8'X4' carpet. I used my cat-like reflexes to hit the bottom of that pan and send it into a cartwheel. Three years later we still find a pin or two every week.

I once tumbled 50 BMG brass with some 45 ACP brass. Don’t do that unless you really enjoy puzzles.
Honestly, I can't explain it either; just know it happened. Decapper didn't go all the way through my thumbnail, but it left a good blood blister that took months to go away. I use a Lee Classic Turret, but not as a progressive. I batch decap and size revolver brass, and often pick up two or three pieces, palming some while setting one in the shell holder. When I'm in a groove, the ram is already rising while I'm inserting the next piece. Likely just got my thumb over the case as it approached the die. Shouldn't happen ... that's why it's a dumb mistake!You know, I don't understand how one could punch their thumb while reloading...never even come close, so far as I know.
Well, I will admit that one time did something similar......got home from scrounging gravel pits with an assortment of mainly handgun brass. Not enough of one caliber to do a batch so in a haste, threw all in the tumbler with SS pins and soap..... Paul Harvey doesn't have to jump in for the rest of the story! (DUH!),20/20 hindsight IDIOT I was!!!I once tumbled 50 BMG brass with some 45 ACP brass. Don’t do that unless you really enjoy puzzles.
Ah yes jmorris!......I learned that Dry tumbling .45ACP and .40S&W together doesn't work that well either.
Add a pinch of sandy dirt and they lock together.Mix in some 9mm and they will nest together in 3's, don't ask me how I know......

or dry media...I have used my impact puller to separate cases stuck together with
