My initial thought was to check your throw a little more often.
My routine consists of several safety checks
--While pulling the handle on the press I always look down the throat of station 4. I can see the powder level and if anything is wrong, the handle does not get pulled.
--Stop and refill the brass loading pipe
--Pull a shell from station 4 (650XL) and weight the powder charge.
--While the scale is settling out I gage check every round in the bin.
--Gage checking also forces me to inspect the primer, primer seating and check the brass for damage.
--Check the powder weight on the now settled out scale
--Place the checked brass back on station 4 and continue.
If I do have a problem it is limited to 20 rounds of .45 ACP.
Its a pain of a procedure but in 40,000 rounds I've had exactly 1 squib load and no double charges.
