Every one of the blunders and accidents posted above could have been avoided by following the basic rules that are printed in any reloading manual. Don't drink while loading, don't have distractions in the background, always start low and work up loads, don't use your reloads in a rifle they were not worked up for, don't load hot or weak loads, if you change ANY component you must start your testing over working low to high, pay attention and double check everything before you cut/pour/seat/load, etc. All the safety rules are right there in the manual, and most of them are just plain common sense. People who take shortcuts are asking for trouble.
