Dumb rookie mistake loading

No, not really. All you have to establish is a small sample of a few rounds to get an 'average' loaded cartridge weight, then weigh them all, discarding those that deviate by something withing a grain weight or two of your powder charge. If your median wt is 205gr anything more than a few grains lower than that gets pulled.

Dillon Powder Check Die will sound an alarm when there is overcharge or undercharge of powder. Yes it has proved to be worth it's weight in gold.

I will shoot them out of my bolt action for you.

I have the Dillon powder check die on my 650 but i had it set to 45 grs rather than 46. I recalled why i had it setup at 45 grs. I initially setup my press to load 7.5 Swiss which i use 45 grs. I use 46 for 30-06.

Well since everyone is admitting to there F ups. The other day I was loading some .45, I took a shell off the press after the powder check just to see what the weight was. After I checked I put the shell back on the press placed the bullet on it and went on my merry way. After I loaded about 20-30 rounds I looked at my scale and low and behold the powder was still in it. So needless to say I have 20 or so assembled bullets and one of them has no powder in it.

I finally got around to shooting off the 200+ rounds I loaded with the wrong powder levels. Surprisingly to me I did not see any significant difference between rounds with my normal load of 46 grs and my lesser loads of 45 grs. I supposed I could actually find a compromise between the two and go with 45.5. All in all this wasn't such a bad thing after all.
