Thank you Parashooter for bringing the error to my attention. It is now clear to me how an honest mistake could have caused a catastrophic result had the members of this forum not been so diligent.

On a lighter note, I wanted to share and post my results to hopefully learn from the group and improve my results over time.  I felt my 1899 Carbine and first attempt at reloading performed pretty well overall. I hope to play around a little with minor changes in charge (within max load limits) and in bullet weights to see if I can improve my initial results. Thanks to all for patience and forgiveness in my mistake.
