I forgot this step once and ended up with some 243 rounds with no powder. Must be Murphy’s law as I have never had empty cases when I have checked. Luckily I picked up on the issue before firing any.
Another time I had one case with noticeably more powder than the others, it had several grains more when weighed. I still don’t know what happened but I suspect the beam on the scales was touching the powder trickler.

We load 100 cases at a time. Lifting each case after putting in powder you get a "feel" if the podwer is miles too short or a fraction over. Amazing how sensitively your fingers can assess.
