On a more serious note, I will be extra careful with this batch of reloads. They are very mild loads so even a 1.5 times overcharge is still within specs, and a double charge would not slosh inside the case. Squibs are a possibility, but being cast bullets they should be quite slippery coming out of the barrel. I made some mistakes while operating the press, but the powder measure does its own thing regardless of my clumsiness so the charges should be OK and I already pruned out the one powderless cartridge.

Quite a decapping pin, by the way, punching through the 22 LR case bottom without a hiccup.

All in a all, a lesson learned here. Reloading is no half way task.
