Hopefully you have learned a valuable lesson here. I work a lot more than I shoot so I will use a work analogy rather than shooting. The work I do has to be RIGHT. Not close. I make my share of mistakes but they rarely get by me as I check and check and check again. Back to shooting. When I make a load, I look up a load. Look it up in another manual. Maybe a third. Check the powder, make sure it is right. Set the scale to five times the desired load. Drop five charges, weigh, adjust......until the measure is set. Then weigh one charge. Then go back to the manuals. Check the loads and the powder. Make sure I'm in the right section in the manual. Sounds like a lot of time but it is not really, not nearly as much trouble as your agonizing over your mistake. A lot less trouble than disassembling a bunch of ammo. A whole lot less trouble than damaging a gun. In a nutshell, check everything. Then check again.
