That's one goof that I hope I never do!
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Two questions... 1-What cartridge? Looks like a 30 Blackout. 2-How did it happen? Going full speed on a progressive press? Just be glad it wasn't a 45 Colt.

If the book load shows the most accurate load is at the book max, you should start testing at book max to save time and components. That part about starting at the min is just to make the lawyers happy. Right?
WRONG! Heed that starting load advice

When you were changing powders with your chargemaster be sure and close the side port after you empty out the first powder otherwise you'll wonder what that sound is as you're filling it with the second powder and it's pouring all over your reloading bench This!!! And to add a little bit to it, don't reload in a room with with a nice shaggy carpet on the floor! Carpet and rifle powder are not a good mix. What a great thread!!!

It certainly does. I can't imagine how that's done, except maybe on some automated equipment. Holy Moses.

Momma is fixing dinner. But I just lost my appetite.
My God, that looks painful. I think I would rather suffer scope eye.

Don't seat bullets in charged cases you haven't primed. Don't seat bullets in charged cases you HAVE primed, if the primer is in backwards.

When the doctor asked how it happened the patient replied, "I can't really put my finger on it."

Don't spend money on gadgets that you don't really need just because some people say that they are "must haves".

Ditto on the side port of the chargemaster. Think it must happen to EVERYONE who has one at least once .

Oh the memories lol. My best one is never mix your powders up put them away when your done, I once put a full load of Winchester magnum rifle powder in my .270 Win. It fired and blew the case head off and jammed the action up. Had to beat the bolt open with a log.

Do not ever forget to look into the charged cases with a pen light, when loading fast powders into mag revolver cases.
I have never found a double charged case yet...............YET!
Do not go deer hunting with 30-06 loads seated into the lands so tight that when the buck gets away without you taking a shot, and you clear the chamber, you end up with an action full of H4831 and a 165 gr Speer bt lodged in the throat.
But if such a situation should befall you, you might carefully clean the powder from the rifle. Raid your buddy's Honda XL 350 for a cheap pair of pliers. Pull the bullet from a second cartridge. Carefully hold the muzzle in a verticle orientation, while closing the bolt on the debulleted cartrige. Then point the rifle in a safe direction and pull the trigger.
Yep, about thirtyfive years ago, in my beginning days. And see, there is a good reason to load boat tail hunting bullets.
Oh, and one final never: Never leave home on a hunting trip unil you have cycled every round through your rifle once. I've charged cases that weren't primed. Frustrating to say the least. I also one time had an incomplete/partial discharge. Don't know what the hell happened but I had a bullet lodged in the bore. I did the same as above. Pulled a bullet, chambered a primed and charged (but bulletless) case in the chamber, looked away and pulled the trigger. It worked and I continued on with my day. To add my own: when using a balance beam scale, make sure it is on a solid surface...not something that will flex when weight is put on it. It'll throw that scale off faster than beer goggles.
