That was my only serious mistake in my 12 years of hand loading. Though in MY case, another round in the box got that drop, along with it's designated drop of powder.I've loaded thousands before and thousands since, with no misfires. What are the odds of randomly getting the only 4 cases without powder, in a row? Phenomenal I would think. It'll (probably) never happen again!
But I presume with .223 if you'd done that you'd have had an overflow? Mine was .38 special W/231.
