FWIW: every gun detonation (long bbl or short) which I've heard about, was firing cartridges loaded on a progressive machine.

After viewing several destroyed revolvers, I've kept My Rockchucker press, and have continued loading the old fashioned way, albeit slower, though I feel much safer.
You make a very good point. There is no substitute for being able to look down in a loading block of charged cases and visually checking that each one has one, and only one, charge of powder in it.

I started on an RCBS Junior, still have it, and may go back to it. Seeing things like this gives me the heebie jeebies, especially since I've had a near miss myself.
