Diligence always pays off!
So I went into factory mode tonight and cranked out several hundred 9mm's for a little afternoon out with one of MWCFD's finest. I always pay really close attention to the bullet seat stage on my progressive, always checking for the powder level in the case. HOWEVER, obviously one slipped by.
Just out of curiosity, and a little self torture, I started putting the made rounds on the scale to check total weight. What did I come across? Well, at first I thought something had gone wrong during seat. Much of the 124gr cmj was exposed above the case throat. Upon close inspection,... it was a .380 case that somehow made it past my case check post tumbling, and also through all 4 die stages of my progressive.
Just goes to show, it never hurts to go that extra step.
And for the record, yes, I feel wicked retarded.
