This is pretty much the only thing in reloading that scares me, so I only have one powder out at a time and keep the jug/keg sitting behind the press with the label facing forward anytime there's powder in the powder measure or the RCBS Chargemaster. When I'm done loading, I put the powder back into the container and put it back on the shelf.

A reminder I use is to make a tag that is stored under the power bottle cap, with powder type hanging out. Then the tag gets placed under the cap of the measure. This gives me several times to check if I have the correct powder and also when returning the remaining powder to the jug. Still not fool proof, but so far has worked for me. I trust you voted for FREEDOM.
