Dangers of handloading process
Does anyone know of any cases of injury or damage caused by the actual process of handloading, including corollary activities, e.g. storage of components, but excluding problems from using the handloads once assembled?

I always fill the cases to the rim with powder , that way you can see they all have the same amount in them , then run a lighted match over them so you can see what your doing just in case you missed one 
Works for me , sure my hair will grow back eventually .

I cut my finger once in 1997, it was a lethal nick that required a plaster and some salvon. Handloading is wicked dangerous.sandy22 wrote:Does anyone know of any cases of injury or damage caused by the actual process of handloading, including corollary activities, e.g. storage of components, but excluding problems from using the handloads once assembled?

Re: Dangers of handloading process
I've jammed my finger in the progressive press (only the once, steep learning curve!), dropped a box of 500 200gr bullets on my foot and frightened the cat de-priming one of Dogyrog's Berdan primed cases which I thought were Boxer primed.

I think the OP has failed to include the reason behind asking what he has asked.
