Very good point on the lead poisoning. I didn't think of that at all.

Powder trickler - is it possible to use one with a standard, mechanical balance beem scale, or does one need to have a digital scale?

Headlong it is. Santa brought me almost everything I need to make ammo. I spent the afternoon reading and getting the bench set up. A question came up on the workbench top size. I have an 8’ room that my wife and I share for hobbies. The plan was to span the distance with butcher block counter tops mounted to the 5’ metal bench I already acquired. Leaving me 18” on either side for a trash can and a stool.
I started looking at the price of the counter top and don’t really want to spend 150. I can get a sheet of 4x8 3/4 13 ply birch for 50 and cut it in half to get a 26 ply 1.5” top. Or, I can get 5/4 pine/popular top for a little more. So the question was how sturdy does the top need to be? Go with the 1.5” top or is it ok to step down to the 5/4 at 1”?
So when working up a load; I figure I'll start with the minimum recommended, load 5, then go up half a grain of powder for my next 5.
Should I do that or just increase each load by a full grain?

So this may be a completely dumb question, but how about running spent brass in the dishwasher before reloading them?
