Don't ever get distracted while loading the bullet.
For instance (hypothetical). Completely ignore what someone behind you may be saying until you finish loading that ML. When you are finished loading, place the rifle down on the range table with the muzzle pointed towards the target - then turn around and say....
"Excuse Me! What Did You Say?"
See how safe& easy that is!
If you don't see any bulges or cracks in the barrel with your naked eye -- nor any broken breechplug threads, then the gunsmith probably won't either.
