I was loading some 44 mag. Had been doing some real flame throwers: 240 gr JHPs on top of 20 gr of 2400. That's just shy of max.
Then I switched over to making some lighter stuff. Same 240 gr JHP, but on top of 7.5 gr of Red Dot. So, I emptied the powder measure and put the 2400 back on the shelf, and filled the powder measure up with Red Dot.
Good Lord, I had already thrown my first drop of powder when i realized it was still set to throw 20 grs of 2400!
That would have ruined my day. And maybe much worse.
I've been loading for a long time. Never, ever made that kind of mistake.
Ya'll keep an eye on what you're doing. I know i will.
