Watch for accidental double charges.

I do small batches 50-100 so checking each one is something I do. But I think I may only charge one then put the bullet on right away rather than change the whole batch and inspect.

I've never tried Titegroup but I've done 700X, HP38 and PowerPistol and all of those I would have a hard time double charging. Also with how short and wide 45acp it would be difficult to overlook a double charge when loading a bullet under adequate lighting (which you should have).

This is a really, really bad idea! No matter what you do a double charge could sneak by you somehow in a way you haven't figured out yet, SO NEVER, EVER DO THIS!!! See my post above. Just use your current healthy level of paranoia to charge 50 or 100 at a time so you can catch that one double load that you didn't see coming.
