It's the best way I know of to avoid a double charge. Plus it reduces the number of times a case is handled during reloading. Think about it, you are not going to pick up a case with a bullet seated to drop a powder charge in it. But if you charge all of your cases before seating the bullet then it does become possible to double charge a case.

Another good way to avoid a double charge is to use a progressive press with a powder check die. I love my Dillon 650!
