I have been reloading ammo for over 25 years. I think I am pretty good at it, but no matter how good you are you can make mistakes. 
I run a single stage Lee press with Breech Lock adapters. Really nifty little gadgets that make changing does quick and easy and you don’t have to reset or adjust them once you have them set. 
Today I was humming right along loading. Some .357 Magnum and I planed yo finish up the .357 and move right into reloading .38 Special so I had both sets of dies on the bench and both die boxes were open. 
I had finished seating 100 bullets in 100 cases and moving to the last step of crimping. I grabbed my Factory Crimp die and as I stuck in the press and locked it in I thought to myself “Gee, that die sure does look stubby” without giving it any other thought I crimped a .357 round.

The press handle had a very strange feel to it. Almost like pushing a sharp knife through a watermelon.

 

I knew immediately what I did. While cussing myself under my breath I swapped out the .38 and .357 dies then finished crimping the remaining 99 rounds.

 

That round will sit in a prominent spot on my reloading bench as a reminder to PAY ATTENTION!

And we know that it's in Australia because it's upside down.

I noticed one of those newscasters said to carry a big stick. But I've heard somewhere that it's illegal to defend yourself.

 

Actually I've heard that it's illegal to defend yourself against any of the aggressive fauna of Australia. Snakes spiders kangaroos crocodiles and magpies. If they attack you and you kill one of them you go to jail.

 

That's pretty damn stupid.

An old Western U.S. response. SSS.  There is a reason, surely not politicians, that we are at the top of the food chain.

If I lived down there, I believe that I would carry, not a stick, but a tennis racket. And I would do my damnedest to knock it out of the sky.
