Once all the rounds in the block have been seated I go back and crimp the rounds.

I took your advice and switched my routine. Rather than charge 50 cases at once and then check each with a light and then seat all 50, I now charge the case, put it in the press, and seat the bullet. No chance of double charging and no worries of spilling a case into the rest in the loading block (I did that once and had to dump them all and re-start). When all are seated, I crimp them all at once. I still weigh every charge though. Not gonna stop doing that. 10 seconds per round is worth my peace of mind. I'm not in a rush anyway.
Makes things easier. If I get called away after 6 rounds loaded, it's no big deal. Just pick up where I left off.
