You certainly will not save money by reloading.

My ammo costs a pittance compared to factory. No comparison.

I just pulled the bullets, oiled the primers and pitched the rest.

I've salvaged out many hundreds over the years...keeping valuable bullets that can be used.

They do look pretty at that. Another suggestion. Drop your charge seat the bullet. Drop the charge seat the bullet. Drop the charge seat the bullet. That way you shouldn't be able to over charge or miss a charge.

I use a powder measure on powder that allows, I scoop load or scale otherwise. I use a large loading block and check powder comparisons with a bright overhead light before seating...

That's exactly how I did it. I just have a single stage so it made the most sense -- but checking the powder level in all the shells at once was quite comforting. There's some serious forces we're dealing with here, after all.

Always keep your load density above 50% that way if you do happen to double charge a round the case will over flow.
I use an RCBS Comp powder measure to throw all on the block @.3gn under grab one from the block then trickle up, drop weighted powder in, tilt the case & look in checking the level even though I have just dropped it in there, then seat that cases projie putting that finished round in another block in case I decide to do a run out check or meplat them all.
