[QUOTE="highfinblue, post: 2868545, member: 67530"] I've done too many stupid things to mention, but I do not remember one not going bang. Put some powder in without primers a time or two, but they never made it to the range before discovery lol. I did just have several .223 factory Lake City rounds that were duds, quite shocked with that one. I was making brass for a left hand CZ I had just bought, and time after time rounds failed to fire. Found some brass I had put away and loaded a couple hundred and so far, not a one has failed to fire, so, I'm reasonably sure it was the ammo and not the gun. I used to take a flashlight and look into charged cases in a loading block to make certain powder was in all of them, but since I installed a light on my press I simply look into the case before I seat the bullet. I now use an electric scale and powder dispenser so I generally seat the bullets as they are charged with powder; used to charge them all, then seat them all. [/QUOTE]
