Paying attention is always a great idea, no matter what you do.
Best part of this thread that a newbie could read. The things I have heard on the guncounter with some reloaders is truly terrifying!

Patience is a virtue. Take your time and do it right. Don't try to reload a box of bullets at midnight before a hunting trip.

By the way that was the only time I have made a major boo boo. Worked late and couldn't find my ammo for the trip in the morning. Sat down and started to reload just after midnight. Well I made a bloody mess. I remembered to check the charges before I seated the bullets. I found 4 that were empty. I reached for the powder again and knocked my data page off the tack board. Luckily I noticed when I tacked it back up that I looked at the wrong load. I was loading for a 168 grain bullet with the data for a 140 grain bullet.

Had to start over. Could have been a real eyeopener.
