It was a single stage, I think I just double charged a round. I use a rcbs little dandy and a lee powder through the die. I only process a batch of 50 at a time.Did you load those on a Single-stage or progressive press?
Pretty sure I tossed a double load on that one.I agree...3.5gn is the minimum and should not have been too hot. Maybe there was a problem with the case...? Was it an old case...? Fired once from factory...?
Why do you feel you made a mistake loading...?
Given the load data and what you loaded you should not have felt bad about letting them fix it under warranty...but I understand your sentiment.
Happy you didn't get hurt...!
The cfe is a real low volume powder so it's likely that I oopsed one load.I agree...3.5gn is the minimum and should not have been too hot. Maybe there was a problem with the case...? Was it an old case...? Fired once from factory...?

Thanks, it also helped me into a Kimber K6S 3" for a new carry piece.Well sir the most important thing is that you were not hurt.
I also admire you for taking full ownership of the error. You didn't try to blame low volume, positional detonation or some other witchcraft.
Yes it is, the only dislike was the pretty wood stock grip, too hard and slippery.@Jan Z you are a gentleman for not taking advantage of S&W's offer. Integrity!!
Are you simply loving that K6S trigger or what?!! My carry revolver is the 3" K6S and it's a joy. Same experience for you or?
SR4756 😉Glad you weren’t hurt but if nobody else will say it I will…you need to revamp your reloading practices. First off is select a powder that fits your needs and also fills the case full enough that a double charge is impossible without seeing powder spilling all over the place. Next is to place charged cases in their own tray. Nothing goes there until it is charged period , then a quick visual check before bullet seating.
I appreciate the critique however you pretty much described what I already do, been reloadig about 40 years. Like I said in an earlier post I screwed one up. And I'm being a lot more careful.🤔Glad you weren’t hurt but if nobody else will say it I will…you need to revamp your reloading practices.
