All the safety, and "fool proof" is from the nut behind the press handle. Some of the powders I use have a "range" from minimum to maximum of less than 1 grain, so the safety is up to me. Some powders can be double charged quite easily, but the safety aspect is me, as I look in every case that is charged with powder and I make sure there are no double charged nor any empty cases. I've been reloading for quite a while and haven't run across any unreliable modern smokeless powder...

But for my 380 ACP I have tried;
Bullseye
W231
Unique
Universal
CFE Pistol

and in my manual;
700x
PB
Red Dot
Green Dot
SR-4756
Blue Dot
