I loaded 50 rounds once before I realized I hadn't primed any of them. I've seated primers backwards too.

Ride well, shoot straight, and speak the truth.

I have failed to charge cases a couple of times over the years. One instance that still sends chills up my spine was when I took a kid to the range with me to burn up some old 38 Specials. Like a kid he was more interested in how fast he could fire them than accuracy. After a couple of cylinders full, I told him to try for the bulleye. 2nd shot I heard a "puff" instead of bang. I looked up and he had recocked it and was aiming. I hollered STOP and he did. Sure enough, the primer had pushed a bullet through the forcing cone just enough to allow the cylinder to rotate.
My normal procedure is to charge the cases in my tray, then hold them under a desk lamp so I can see the powder charge and compare the volume in each case with the two on either side. You can detect even pretty small variations in powder level that way.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost....
