Comes down to good old common sense!! Check and check again and don't force nothing.
So no loading when feeling tired with a JD in one hand and a smoke in the other!! Did make me laugh but I could imagine someone doing that!!
I think I'll try and buy the best press and scales I can afford at some point and other stuff can be a tad cheaper to get me started.
"tired with a JD in one hand and a smoke in the other!! Did make me laugh but I could imagine someone doing that"
I witnessed one IPSC bloke just doing that - p*** + Another Beer + Faq!
got out there quickly and did not stand next to him on range if I could avoid it (hard as RO though)
Hahahaha! Noooo Way!! wtfwtf
Oh dear but funny! Can you believe that someone would do that! Tub of powder with a fag dangling over the top. Not good!!

When I walked in he was casting 230 grain 45 acp handloads from a lead pot
Didn't want to bet whether he would burn or blow himself up!
Classical case of "I know what I am doing and it aint hurt me"

The greatest dangers in handloading are, ignorance, assumptions, hurriedness, lack of attention and hubris.

well there is the danger of divorce/domestic violence/nookie reduction, once the missus finds out
a) how much the new kit costs
b) that you now have an indoor shooting hobby as well as an outdoor one
c) that you plan to spend time at
home reloading so you can spend even more time
out shooting
d) that spent primers get everywhere and can bugger up the hoover (primer death rattle)

The biggest danger is you will never be happy, always working to improve your loads and you will spend a lot more than you imagined.
