Hmm, I hope that "bound to happen" is behind me. I have only been reloading for 4 years and my first batch of 9mm had one round that was a squib, primer only. I have since changed my procedures such that if there is even a shred of a doubt I stop and examine the round in question. Yesterday I was reloading and noticed that my powder hopper was nearing empty. I said to myself (quietly since I don't talk to myself YET) "it is only taking 4.3 grains and I can finish the remaining two rows". Nope. I noticed that my last casing has a dusting of powder so I pulled the previous 10 rounds just to be sure. I am careful but I screw up now and then and have caught my screw ups so far.
