Ever reach up and grab the wrong cannister off the powder shelf and start loading?

One can on the bench at any time. Period. When you're done it goes back with the other stuff.
I leave it sitting right next to the powder measure...it's a good visual reminder while you are working, and it eliminates confusion when you are cleaning up.
Many, many years ago, I dumped about ½ cup of H870 into a part can of H5010.
Fortunately, the difference in kernel size allowed me to use a sieve to separate them.
Never since have I had two different powders up near my equipment.
I finish with one, return it to storage before I start with the next type.
Lesson learned.

Paranoid me, I segregate, or put more correctly organize, all my reloading stuff by cartridge. Each cartridge has it's own shoebox with all the goodies required, like a 1 lb can of powder, dies, shell holder, etc. Whenever I want to reload 308, it just pull the 308 box, and everything is in there. Zero cross-contamination.

I recently dumped about two ounces of Varget into a new freshly opened pound of H4831. It sucks, but at least I saw what I did.
