I'm an Idiot
But many of you knew that already. This AM I was in the gun room and noticed the powder measure was very low. looking closer it was completly bone dry. Problem is it went dry sometime during the last 100 rounds of .45 ACP that I loaded. likely near the end of the run. Luckily I box them up every 100 rounds so I know which box to pull apart. I remember thinking I will have to add some powder soon but got called away. Guess it's time to get the low powder sensor.Good thing I have the old bullet puller.

been there.. done that...
However complicated the issues becomes it comes down to one simple question. Which is more important to you Life or Liberty? I've made my decision long ago.
"Is life so sweet or peace so dear; as to be paid for at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me Liberty or give me Death." Patrick Henry

If your powder scale is handy, you can weigh an identical loaded rounded you know is good, then weigh all of those in the suspect box and keep those that weigh that much or more. You end up only pulling bullets from the 'dry' or the one partially-charged assembled rounds.

I found it interesting how quickly you guys respond to me calling myself an idiot.
