Well, my friend just started reloading on a progressive press and is having problems keeping his mind on what he is doing, not advancing the shell plate after sizing a round so he doesn't end up loading the previous case.
It's a learning experience but shouldn't be if you pay attention to what you are doing, No disturbance in the loading room, no phone calls, no T.V. and just load.
So far he's blown up one gun with a double charge. Had three that I know of but one did blew out the cylinder and the top strap of his Ruger.
The best is left to last. On his Taurus he had 4 misloads with no powder and stuck all four in the barrel.
The question is "How do you dislodge 4 bullets. I gave him my squib rod but told him I didn't think he could do it and to send it back to Taurus. He's as stubborn as me and I know he's not going to send it back.
My only advice was to put it in a vice, hit the squib rod with a 3 pound sledge and pray.
Any other suggestions?
