The problem with small charges of fast powder in big cases is it is very easy to throw a double charge, especially when you are in the middle of a reloading task and go to fill up the coffee cup!
There is no way I would use that 34 grain load in my 338 Win Mag.
You also need to think about S.E.E with that light load. Under the right conditions it could occur.
its called discipline at the reload bench...if one doesn't know what they are doing,
you present a valid point... and shouldn't go there..
however many of us do this reduced charges frequently...
Simply you charge a case, and seat a bullet before moving on to the next round...
no different than loading a pistol cartridge.
and if distracted, by say the wife wanting help 'with it will only take a minute honey'..
dump the powder into your container, turn the cartridge upside down, and you know
where to start again...
All wives interrupt ya when you are at the load bench.. with "it will only take a minute honey"
I've pointed it out to my wife, it is like while she is in the bathroom coloring her hair,
for me to come in and ask her for her help and tell her 'it will only take a minute honey"..
She gets the picture....
