So glad you're alright
I've seen SFG's work first hand, and we've discussed reloading at length.
I would have absolutely every confidence in my own safety if he handed me a box of hand loads to test out myself.
SFG, If you're truly concerned about your powder weights, pull random samples from the buckets of from your sort and give them a disassembly & verification.
I would instead suggest looking through your rounds for cracked mouths or signs of insipid head separation color bands (which I know can be difficult to distinguish from sizing die marks from sized brass / completed rounds).

Sorry, but my religion forbids me from drinking alcohol, shooting reloads in guns that have recently exploded, and making annoyingly enigmatic smart-ass comments on forums. (However, I might make an exception in return for a bottle of Dolin Vermouth de Chambéry Blanc.)

You may be on to something here.
The Local Gunsmith showed me the front end of the blown .40S&W casing, perfectly round and all that. About 5/16" long. He had removed it from the chamber.
Clearly, there was some kinda case separation involved. Maybe at the cannelure. I'll see if I can find that piece and check it further. Maybe over that coffee you suggested.

Gary:
Are there stronger guns than the one that grande-ed? Say a single shot contender? Maybe invest in one of those, or pass the buckets of ammo to someone with a heavier gun.
