Speaking of Safety

Probably a great idea teaching new shooters to tag their rifles, especially if loaded and standing. Some of us have been brought up differently, or have short attention spans.
I don't unload until I either change loads or harvest and clean. BUT, my household and entire family were brought up knowing EVERY firearm IS loaded and must be confirmed unloaded.
Certainly glad he didn't double load.
Witness marks are a requirement, not an option.

It's not expensive with an inline. The load can be pushed out and reused.

Not at all. Everybody thinks you have to push out the load through the breech. I don't do that, because it gets powder in the threads.
Take out the breech plug with the barrel pointed down over a bowl. Then push the load out the muzzle. Pushing on the powder works fine. Pick the bullet out of the powder in the bowl and pour the powder back in the bottle, or throw it away. The bullet is the expensive part. All done and the gun doesn't need any cleaning.
