-- I love the mythological significance given to Dum Dum Bullets. As if they're little tactical nukes, stacked up in "Assault Clips" ready to be "sprayfired" "from the hip" by pistol grip equipped "bullet hoses" instead of early variations of the softpoint bullets people have been using to take game with (and use for self-defense) for the last century. -
Sort of, but my night didn't end up as productive as yours
Loaded 100 .223 and after the 100th round I decided that the charges seemed a little light, so I rechecked the zero on my scale...it had somehow moved 6 grains (!). I spent the next hour pulling a hundred projectiles and starting over. -

Yep - sure do.
Then I'll see something about AB 962 and get pissed off again.

I made it a habit to re-check my scale for "zero" and powder dispenser dropping correct powder amount.
Heck welcome to the club of "Oops!" Most of us have experienced one form or another, large or small. The main thing is we caught it before the 'firing pin slamed on the primer" of our proudly produced round.Comment

Definitely been in the "reloading zone". Meant to go into the reloading room for a few boxes of ammo. Just over three hours later, I've boxed up my twentieth box of 50 rounds. My reloading for that month was done in that period of time. :-)
It also can happen when casting, too. Start out intending to bang out maybe 500 boolits. A few hours later, you're staring at over 3,000."San Francisco Liberal With A Gun"

Reloading is cosmic experience.

Reloading is therapy and a good way to relax for me. If I get off early enough I'll cast a big batch 200 LSWC, have dinner, than go back out and run them through the lube/sizer and load them up.Comment

What kind of powder are you using that 6 extra grains still fits in the case? H322 @ 22.5 grs almost fill the case. 2 more grains and it would spill out.Comment

Oh yes...
Got into one tonight...
Wife: "Sweetie, why dont you go out and reload a little?"
Me: "Shoot, dont have to ask me twice babe."
Couple hours later.... I come waltzing back in with a smile on my face
Wife: "done already babe?"
Me: "Babe I was in the ZONE! I got so much done!!!!"
I deprimed 300 rounds of 223 and resized them, deprimed about 200 .40
AND
Started painting my ar receivers
Life is good right now...
