I was loading some test loads for my S&W 696 with Rim Rocks 180gr LTC.
I loaded 10 with 8.5gr of AA#5 after seating the bullets I noticed I had a 8.5gr charge of powder in the powder scale pan I Thought I gave the charged cases a look over with the flashlight prior to seating but apparently inspector #1 had the lazy eye
I shook loaded rounds and then weighed them, the 1st round in the tray was suspect and I marked it.
The load in question misfired, I waited for minute and then inspected the cartridge the primer was backed out but did not lock up the gun, the bullet with a stiff crimp did not move. I later pulled the bullet the primer(WLP) ignited and there was no powder.
I think this issue was caused by complacency or the need for eyeglasses.
