This is another reason I load in batches of 50 rounds and the cases are inspected while in the loading block with a flashlight for the proper charge before seating the bullet. A light charge is very easy to be seen.

^Me too. Keeping it simple avoids a lot of mistakes. I haven't found a need for more than a single-stage press and loading block - at least for my revolvers and rifles. Guess I'd think about a progressive if I shot a whole lot of pistol. I also don't understand the reason for plated wadcutters. My cast wadcutters never leave lead in the bore - soft lead and low velocity are a good combination.
For really light loads I use one of those Lee yellow scoops. The smallest one comes out to about 2.8 grains of Bullseye which is perfect for 148 grain wadcutters (which I cast myself - bullet cost is next to nothing). For most everything else I use a Lyman 55 measure.
