I usually don't swipe pictures, but in this case I felt it is an important lesson and reminder to share with everyone. This picture was shared in one of my groups. What was formerly a well functioning SIG 1911 turned into a grenade by what was essentially a triple charge. The reloader, for reasons unknown, loaded 12.6 grains of Titegroup into a .45 ACP case (compressed load) and then let someone else shoot his handiwork. Thankfully the shooter's eye protection saved his sight. The only damage was to the gun.

Yikes! That's why I visually inspect each case prior to bullet seating. I can't afford new eyes, fingers or guns...

Same here I’m in no hurry and visually check each case as well.

This is why I'm more than happy to stick with my Lee Classic turret press. One pull of the handle, then manually turn the turret to the next step. Always sure what I'm doing every time, and manually weigh and place the charge, so there's no chance of double or triple charging. All the Blue machine people can laugh at me, but I never had a squib or a detonation.

Triple charge? Damn, that would be nasty....was nasty I guess.

[rumaco]

Blatant disregard of safe reloading practices, right there.

Based on the information I got, it was more than likely a willful disregard. Someone e thought it would be funny to load some rounds that would 'surprise' his buddy.
