Arsenal - I have pulled as many as 300 bullets when I screwed up a load. Oh well, I learned my lesson.
You won't be the first guy to pull bullets for an hour.

I hope not. Seriously.Gad, last time i post an honest question about something like this
It takes no money to be carefull, which is all we are saying.I'm poor. Very poor. I don't have the space nor the money to go out and buy every nifty little gadget for this hobby,
I hope we did not sound condescending. We feel strongly about what we tried to convey is all. I guarantee we were talking to the posters who gave poor advise more than to you when we blasted weighing charges to find squibs or blasted the posters who say "oh well, no biggie, it happens" because it should not.And apparently there isn't a way to tell a guy that without being condescending and demeaning.
Way to take the high road guys.
G'night, I'm off.
No truer words spoken.It takes a double-charge or worse to blow three chambers out of a Colt SA cylinder and also blow the top strap off.
A squib doesn't blow up a gun when the next round is a light target load.
You just end up with two bullets stuck in the barrel and maybe a ringed barrel.
I've had very good luck with the Frankford Arsenal Compact Digital scale from Midway. The RCBS 505 is also highly popular.If anyone has suggestions for scales id sure be interested.
