I still use a single stage press and use a loading block.

I'll load up 50 with powder, and then use a powerful flashlight to insure that they all received powder and that the level is consistent between them.
Same here. Single stage. Don’t see that changing.

I used to drop powder for 50 cases and line them up in loading block, then inspect with flashlight, but one time as I was nearly done with a 50 round batch my hand bumped something and I spilled the case into the open cases. Had to start all over again. So now I drop powder and seat bullet immediately. Also means if I get called away after say 22 rounds I can just walk away and get back to it later.
