    This sort of thing made me re-consider my process several years back (the round never got a bullet crimped into it but I did notice a double charge in a .45 case when loading a block of 50 of them and had to empty the whole batch for fear of a bloody hand finding one more I might miss). Now I weigh 4 successive charges on my digital scale, drop them into cases, then double check the 5th on my beam scale and fill the rest. I run 10 cases at a time only and after every powder charge is thrown into a case, I put a bullet on top of the case upside down. Like everyone beats on, this is not a place to be even the least bit imprecise. Once the hammer falls all your mistakes will start coming back at you and there's no stopping the sequence of events till it's done. I've screwed up a good few reloads but they've never made it past step by step inspection.

    Thanks to OP for the pic. That was very educational to a couple folks I know that didn't understand how dramatic a pressure build can be.

        That pic made me paranoid, I single staged my last 500 rounds of 45 just to make sure I don't double charge.

                Isn't reloading supposed to save you money?

                        Can this qualify as "modern art masterpiece?"
