I don't know if that's what happened with mine, but I have holes in a Cordura gun case, Coleman Lamp, one gal oil jug, and the garage door; and a pissed-off wife.
I hope the original poster returns to tell us what happened and at what point in the reloading process it occurred. It's not necessary to do a forensic analysis about cause and effect. We really would like to know what he was doing when something happened to produce holes in objects.
Merely inserting a 40S&W case into a 450B case and then putting some powder into the combined cases obviously won't cause any accidents. Something else was going on. Was there a ka-boom? Was a progressive press involved?
