Very early in my reloading career I misread a reloading manual and instead of throwing the correct charge (30.8 gr) of either 3031 or 4064 (don't recall which, but those were the only powders I used then) for my .30-40 Krag, I loaded 38.0, which was a healthy .30-06 load with the same weight bullet. I forget how I caught it before shooting any of them, but it led to the purchase of an RCBS collet bullet puller and much closer attention to the data.
