Mike's not kidding about spilled shot being a SOB to clean up.

Back when I loaded shotshells on a MEC I had just filled the shot reservoir. To fill it you tilt both shot and powder bottles back so they are neck up, unscrew the bottle, fill it and replace, then stand them back up.

Upon standing them back up the shot bottle snapped at the neck and gravity did what it does best. When the full shot bottle hit the concrete floor, it broke open in a spectacular manner and spread the shot in a fairly even pattern covering almost the entire floor.
