It just takes one mistake

Exactly one mistake! I was loading .45 acp, and i distinctly remembering saying to myself, hey you didn't charge that case. I was using True Blue which doesn't come close to filling the case. Yes I double charged it. Fortunately the Remington 1911 is one tough gun and wasn't hurt, and I'm a tough old (stupid) sob and was wearing eye protection. The base of the case blew out and hit me in the cheek, leaving a small cut. The remainder of the case was still in the chamber, the remaining rounds in the magazine we shoved down and tilted. Everything turned out okay thank God. I know double check each case as I charge them. I was following all the rules while loading, no distractions, just had a brain fart and didn't look in the case before I seated the bullet.

I have been fortunate to have never done a double charge, but that does not mean I have not has my share of brain farts. Glad you and the gun came out with nothing serious.
