Return to Paradise
Old time Lee reloader(since 2011, but I started late). Reloaded several thousand pistol and BLK rounds, but just bought my .223 dies and trimmer, so though I had better check in with the experts to keep the explosions contained .

Re: Return to Paradise
Welcome to forum .
I think as far as expert goes you're giving me extra credit.
Pretty hard to blow up a 223 . Easier with what you've been loading.
Best fail safe ? 1 and only 1 can of powder at a time anywhere near the bench .
You can't and original Colts SAA with a compressed load of H322 ,4198, H335 but a full case of H110 I'm pretty sure will jam a case and blow primers in a 223 .

Herzlich willkommen from Germany!
I can only second RBHarter: Never ever give yourself the chance to mix up powders without noticing. A good way to avoid KBs is to use a powder that physically doesn't allow double charges.

Re: Return to Paradise
Near 50 years ago when I started I think the best advise I got was to always try to work 100% loadings but stay at least 70%. You'll spill powder in a double charge that way. I believe one can at a time on the bench should go without saying. Pretty sure double charge and wrong powder blow up more guns than any other causes.
