Safety moment

I also run the walnut hulls with rouge. Works very well if you let them run in there for 2-3 hours. I then pull them out and wipe them down with a clean dry rag, then lube them with the frankfort arsenal lube, let dry, size & prime, wipe clean with a different clean dry rag, then go to town with powders and bullets.

...hate that drone of the tumbler.

This is the quietest vibratory cleaner I have ever seen or used. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/115...mbler-110-volt

This is why I ALWAYS place all charged cases in a loading block and physically look at each one. I've done this for almost 30 years... pistol and rifle.

I've never used a progressive type set up.

I was charging cases and one overflowed. I figured I had not moved the funnel so I dumpted it and filled it again. Same thing it overflowed. Dumpted the charge and looked in the case and saw about 25% of it had corn cob in it and it was packed in there. If it had not been so full I may not have seen it. I visually check all my loads before I seat the bullets and if any seem short or too full - I pull them and reweight them.

Had an experience with my 257 Weatherby when a case was short loaded and the bullet stuck in the barrel. Was heck to tap it out with a brass rod. When I say stuck it was stuck. I pulled the rest of my 257 loads to check them. I figured out that the funnel was not allowing the powder to flow freely and hence the short load.

Since then I put all my charged cases under a strong light and check them for inaccurate loads.

Stingray.

I had a very similar thing happen when I was reloading some .308 cases. I went to charge with powder and it overflowed. Thinking that maybe there was something off I dumped the powder back and reweighed the next charge. The powder charge was spot on. There was a beetle that had crawled into the case and never got out. It was a total pain to dislodge the creature, but I finally got it out. Like you said, Always check your work. . .
