My reloading area is in my basement, which keeps the dehumidifier busy but is also the coolest and driest part of the house. I remove old primer, ultrasonic clean, rinse and dry in the oven at a low heat on an old cookie tray, just over 200F. Once they cool they go into a old ammo can until I am ready to resize, prime and load. Resizing lube is Hornady One Shot, which is laid out on a flat surface and sprayed. I don't go to any extra effort to make sure the inside of the neck is coated, or clean once the resizing in finished so that is a possible contaminant. I will give the mouth a turn with a deburring tool, which is done with the case upside down so filings fall away and not into the case. Everything is primed by hand. Powder is charged with Hornadys lock and load auto charge scale with whatever jug of powder I am using sitting next to it, all other powders are put away. This particular 1 Lbs bottle was 95% used up by the time I finished reloading that day, so tossing it isn't a big loss. All other bullets reloaded that day have been shot with zero issues.
I was running some ladders and this occurred during the lowest powder charge stage. Noslers website listed 28.5 as max so I started a 25.8 and worked my way up in .3 grain intervals. I am thinking the light load theory could be the cause.
I am also testing TAC and 8208.
I knew I had one in the chamber so held it on target for at least 5 seconds before extracting just in case of hang fire. I do have some CCI41's but have way more CCI450's.
