Since I have reached the ripe old age where long term memory has won the race over short term memory, I have to write everything down.
One thing I now do, is write the powder name on a slip of white paper and place it on top of the powder in the hopper. Then I place the powder can behind the hopper on the bench, kind of a double safety.
I also place an old towel over the measure and press (have 3 set up on bench) to keep it dust free. I often get called away in the middle of a reloading session.
All well and good, except in a fit of cleanliness, I put the powder can away. Yep, you guessed it, when I removed the towel, this one time I forgot to put the slip of paper in the hopper.
So now I have mystery powder!!!
So it. is true, "Even the best made plans of mice and men often go astray!"
Laugh at me and learn! Be careful reloading my friends!
