single stage is no problem, it’s progresives where the danger is and it could be no charge or double charge. if i load pistol on a progressive i look at the charge in every case. but it only takes missing one to cause problems. the charge indicators are the only way to go in my view.
If you use a progressive with auto-indexing - it’s very hard to screw this up and end up with a double charge. But some people are very clever in make anything unsafe..
 
Anyone loading on a progressive should use an RCBS lock Out Die which will prevent double charges as well as powder dispenser failure to drop conditions.
 
l use a Lee Classic progressive press every would be very hard to do a double load. 4.5g Unique 158g LRN in my Marlin 1895.
