I took a dowel and made it smaller on one end and I install it in the next shell to reload. If I get dis-tracked by someone or something I know where I left off cause if you install the dowel into a shell that has powder it sticks up like a sore thumb. It works for me. Try something like that and you will know where you are next time you get dis-tracked. Just my way of knowing where I am when I am loading powder!!
