Use the same shell holder with the same dies, pointing the same direction all the time. It will amaze you how much difference the is in shell holders.

Write everything down/make notes. If you walk away, remember where you left off.

Throw that little 3 piece ring with the o-ring thing away that comes with an impact bullet puller. Use a shell holder instead, works great everytime. Better yet throw the whole thing away and use your press. Wiring plier or collet puller does a better job. I’ve used an impact puller enough to know there is a better way.

Impact pullers and .17 caliber bullets don't like each other! LOL

Some pistol bullets are hard to get a hold of with collet pullers. But yes if possible I use one instead of the whacker.

Read at least 5 reloading manuals then ask someone with a bunch of experience to do some loads with you and label and date everything you do because you will forget no matter what you tell yourself. Only do the reloading when you are calm and willing to shut out distractions and relax in your own world. Go forth and shoot accurate ammo.
If you find yourself in a hole....quit digging
