Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Reloading goofs/ things not to do

I'm really surprised this hasn't made the list yet:

If you're going to push shot shell wads into the case with your finger make damn sure you have the allen wrench to remove the wad starter die from the press within arm's reach. Trying to remedy that mistake without the wrench usually results in a swelled finger making anything short of removing the die bloody and painful.

I have smashed my finger seating wads too.
