Yesterday I was loading up some 357's. I load 100 at a time, in trays of 50 each. I had to get up after loading the first 50.
My process:
Setup the scale, zero, then use scale weights with .5gr of my desired weight. If I have to adjust, I go back to the zero step and then scale weights again.
Set the powder dispenser to what I have marked for the average VSD in my logs
Throw the powder, weigh, it should be very close, if I have to adjust the VSD too much, I recalibrate the scales and start over.
I check the weight of the powder throw after the first 5 throws, then every 25 afterwards.
Brass without gunpowder is primer side up in the trays
Once loaded with gunpowder it's primer side down (obviously )
I then run a flashlight check over the two trays right to left then up and down checking the levels inside the brass.
I then seat the bullets, depending the the type, seat and crimp in the same step.
When I came back to start loading again, I had loaded up about 10 cases and then noticed the tray I was pulling from was all primer side down. Had to dump those 10 cases and refill. The process caught the mistake.
