case explosion

Im not sure Im in the right forum, but I got a Lee reloading system and casting equipment for xmas. (nice gift) anyway I bought the dies and sizers for .45 acp. I have a glock 21. yesterday I loaded the reloads. went outside to fire it and when I did I felt a flash near my face and the magazine holder flew off against my hand, magzine fell out..I have a cracked trigger, broken magazine holder, a scorched magazine and one terrified guy who has a messed up brand new glock 21 enough stuff to reload 100's of rounds and scared to death to try again. One thing I did notice after I measured a new 45 fmj again my reload was that is was about a mm longer. also used clays powder. 4.8 grains on a 230 grain bullets with magnum primer(all I can get)
I know I followed directions carefully and read them many times....Has anyone else had this horrifying experience?
one side note...I did cut back on the load because of the magnum primer
