Agreed. It's tough with mixed components in a small handgun case. Even cast bullets can vary by 2-3 gr. Sometimes you can hear the powder if you shake the round but that only tells you if your empty vs short of powder.
If it were me, and your sure you didn't double charge one, I'd just shoot the rest of the 50. A couple of squibs is not going to damage the gun. Heck I had about 50 one year when I was having issues with my Dillon Square B.
