That's just to keep your blood pressure up so doc's can make a living too.

Thing is my daughter who is in the medical field called while I was running a progressive loaded and I forgot to check powder supply when I went back to the loader.

Must be a job security thing.

Oh No now we know the rest of the story!!!
How many do you think?
Sorry to hear that. Old adage check and recheck. It is easy done when someone interupts you, go and talk to them and come back and the old mind is off on another tangent all together.

So after weighing 700 rnds, I found only one more squib.

Only had to pull one bullet.

I've only had one squibb so far. Luckily the round behind it was not able to chamber successfully or I would have, unfortunately, pulled the trigger on it. BA-BOOM!

Wow! That is great that you found your squibb. With all the variation in the bullet & brass weights there'd be no way I could find a squibb by weighing them... (I'm talking 45 ACPs here).
