In order to be a double charge, I would have had to have a round in the mix that didn't get any powder per the way the dillon press works - the remaining rounds loaded all were pulled and taken apart and I found no errors in what I had reloaded and we didnt have one at the range. I pulled bullets on about 75rds when I got home.

The rounds on either side were already fired. And one more thing to note, the bullet from the round that blew up the gun was found at our feet with a cut to the nose about 1/8inch deep.

I really appreciate the kind responses, its hard not to be shook up about it. Serves as a stark reminder of safety.

I've reloaded this recipe at least 700 times with no primer problems, brass splits ect. I've found reloading data range to be 5.1 to 5.9 from published books, so I figured I was within range even if a extra .1grs did get thrown. My Dillon has always been quite good with consistency though.

Thanks....
