My first press was a Dillion 550B in college. I learned real fast that cranking out the ammo and zoning out even for a second was not a wise move. I learned on 300 Win Mag.Stuck in the funnel. Happens all the time
That's not a catastrophic failure by any stretch of any sane imagination. That's just minor parts breakage.Like to many loadings on a set of brass?
That's what caused this catastrophic failure. View attachment 1112978 View attachment 1112979
Sweet story...That's not a catastrophic failure by any stretch of any sane imagination. That's just minor parts breakage.
Sadly the training in this country and I would imagine every country is very variable in it's quality!

No sir I do not. These photos were shared with me buy my friend Mark Skaggs.Yikes! Do you have any pictures of the case where it ruptured after it was removed? Did any of the other cases in the lot display signs of impending failure?
I do the same thing - check w a bright mini LED flashlight, straight down the neck. Check each block of 50 charged cases. Glad you caught the "error". It's a kinda a mindless task - until it isn't.I dropped some IMR 4895 into a pan and trickled up to 41.5, then poured into my .308 brass.
I used my flashlight to look into the cases and one had more powder than its neighbor. Dumped into a pan and it was over by a bunch and the other was under charged. Don't know how that came about since I drop and trickle up to weight. Checked my 505 and no problems there. I always look into my charged cases to check there's powder and levels are the same. Should have weighed the overage but whatever it was it bottomed out the pan. Glad I caught it and didn't get surprised.
