I once confused the grains with 10th of a grain for a hot load and I was using 4895 which usualy hits pressure much sooner. In effect, I was loading 59.1 grains in lieu of 51.9! Thankfully,I noticed it at the end of the session and pulled all the bullets out. From then, I have posted a note in front of my bench saying :"Grains" to remind myself.

The other advise I have for some of the more inexperienced reloaders out there is to be very carefull with fast burning powders and heavy bullets in ALL calibers.

Yours in good hunt'n,
