At the bench
- Every charge above is copied from the data source named at the top, for these exact components, and none is above its published maximum.
- Scale zeroed and checked with a check weight; re-checked every 10 charges.
- One powder and one box of bullets on the bench. Everything else put away.
- Every charge weighed. Every charged case looked into before seating: powder levels match.
- Primers seated below flush; feel every case head.
- Length checked on the first round and every 5th after.
- A dummy round fits the magazine and chambers freely.
Stop if anything does not match this card: a charge, a bullet, a primer or a length. Never load a charge that is not written on this card.

This sheet records what you load. It never suggests a charge. Take every charge from a current manual published by the powder or bullet maker for your exact components, start where it tells you to start, and never exceed its maximum.
