A routine for me is to only have 1 powder on the loading table at a time. I think that when I mindlessly clean up and put things away I'm not paying attention as closely as when I was loading minutes before. Now I have some other thing on my mind to do…so I scoot along cleaning up as I think about the next project.
Yesterday, loading a different round, I left it's powder on the bench by the turret…Today I'm using another powder in the LNL…moving right along…crank-ping, crank-ping and I look across the bench while waiting for the scale to read on an intermittent load-check, just verifying that I'm getting what I want…then I see yesterdays powder sitting on bench also. That could have lead to a problem if I had emptied the throw back into that can instead of the correct one.
Last year I made myself a new rule to follow…Place the can of powder I'm working with 'upside down' on the bench and that should resolve any problems…well…it paid off today. Might have caught myself might not. Many times my loading pard will be here and we are running two presses and that was the scenario I was thinking of when I made me a new rule.

??? > Do you have any routines that you want to share? Did they work out? Do we make too many rules for ourselves to load by? Any comment?
