A friend was shooting some years back, pulled the trigger on a round that didn't feel right. He cycled the slide and an empty dropped out. He shrugged and was squeezing the trigger again when his friend stopped him. Sure enough they found a slug lodged in the barrel. Remington factory ammo as I recall.
From what I've seen over the years, double charges loaded carelessly on a progressive are the usual culprit.
In 30 years of reloading, I've never had a blowup. One squib long ago, and never a double change, but I'm "persnickety" with reloading.
