Mental note to self- Reloading at 1:00 am after chasing the kids around the rodeo, not a good idea.
  Got home after the rodeo last night and decided to finish some rounds on my bench. I was loading for a ladder test before we left, checked my list, then what I had already loaded.  Set my scale for the next round, charged it and seated the round, check on the check list. Next round, set the scale,WTF-oooppps! Instead of moving the tenths on the previous round I had moved the 1gr. weight. Instead of charging the round at 65.9 gr, I had charged it at 69.7gr(way over book max)! Well at least I caught it. Marked the round with a marker set well away from other loaded ammo, went to bed!
If it is tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

Ya how I got out there without a black eye and still married is still kinda confusing! Definitely a very target rich environment. But I have noticed in the last couple of years that all of sudden I have gotten very old!
