Had lesser eyebrows and a bit of beard singe too.

I spread the powder out more if I am going to burn off degraded powder now.
This almost made me laugh, but seeing as I am just getting into reloading, it would be bad luck to. All these stories are making me wonder if I should break the seal on my new Lee that just arrived!
