We've all done it! My worst wasn't a shot spill but I didn't realize somehow I bumped the powder hopper on my Spolar and it moved. Prevented the full charge of powder from dropping. After about 300-400 shells I noticed the hopper was out of place. Never knew when during those 300-400 I bumped it so it took a while to figure out which shells were "light"! Fool me once.....

After 50 years of reloading, I'm officially done reloading. Sold to a fellow PGCA member so it will have a good home! No more searching for powder, primers, or buying $50 shot At one time I had 6 of these 45 gal tubs filled with once fired Federal Gold Medal, Top Gun, and Estate hulls. Gave 3 tubs to friends and kept 3. All empty now! My next project is mining all the shot on the floor! The reloading bench was made by my grandfather probably in the 50's or 60's. 1 1/2 inch maple bench top.
