Help! SP101 locked up!

When loading with a single stage press I will drop the powder charge then put it in the press and seat the bullet. The case is in my hand and I can easily see the charge.
With a progressive press use the RCBS lock out die. No more problems.
 
We handloaders do get defensive, don't we!

LOL guilty here, I quickly realized I had to own up to this one seeing as I reloaded it! :eek: Lesson learned, I'm just glad no one nor myself got hurt, I'd probably quit loading if I did cause someone to get hurt.
 
Would a bulky powder like TrailBoss be a suitable substitute for relatively fast-burning powders like Unique or Bullseye in a .38 Special case?? I don't know if the case is even big enough to get equivalent velocities nor do I have any idea what the accuracy potential of TrailBoss is (I shoot Bullseye matches and the best accuracy I can muster from my reloads is always a goal).
The biggest reason I have for considering a powder like TrailBoss is that it would seem to be almost impossible to double-load a .38 Special case with it.
