This,
I loaded up a bunch of 45 ACP once before noticing that on my Dillon powder measure a nut came loose and it was not activating the powder drop. so I've gone through a bunch of squib loads.
I thought I could find them by weighing the finished rounds but I didn't find all of them.

so pretty much I just know that I can only shoot the ammo and I won't let anybody else shoot any of my reloads. After that I bought the Dillon powder measure checker

A simpler way is to get a taller chair and a light that illuminates the case prior to seating a bullet.

Progressive presses don't have senior moments. The more a human is required at each step, the greater the chance of error.

No but powder measures do, otherwise all you folks would stop bitching about stick and flake powders.
