I had something similar happen also. For loading small batches of rifle cartridges it’s very easy to avoid mistakes. Not so much when loading large quantities of handgun ammunition on a progressive press. It’s really unfortunate that progressive presses didn’t have a hole for (1) size, (2) expand, (3) powder, (4) lock out die, (5) seat and (6) crimp. And anything manual index is prone to human error.
