(17,493 posts)I reloaded ammo for many years for my own shooting hobby.
I followed the load suggestions in a quality reloading manual. I only had one brand of powder on my reloading table when I was reloading and never left my powder measure half full but returned the unused power to the container it came in.
I used a single stage press not a progressive press so I took more time and care reloading. I always checked to see that the primers were inserted properly into the cartridge case. When dropping powder I always measured the first ten rounds and then every tenth round. I would then take a flashlight and check the level of the powder in every case to make sure I had not accidentally double charged one.
Consequently I never had a "ka-boom" during the 30 years I reloaded my own ammo.
