Good point on saving targets. I also have a target file with notes on each bull as to load, date, outside temp, rifle etc.
Keep your loading bench clean and well organized.
Buying the same lots or powder, primers, bullets and brass is a great idea.
I agree with zeroing the scales, BUT buy some scale weights and use them to check to see that the scale weighs accurately then zero the scale every time. Only have one type of powder and primers on the bench at a time. I write the type of powder on my measure with a grease pencil. Never use anyones else's load data without checking it against several different books.
Develop a routine and stick to it don't, watch TV, have long conversations, talk on the phone when you're loading. If you're loading that's all you should be doing, stay focused and pay attention. Write ALL of your loads down and how they perform when you shoot them.
