People that say it's safer to use a single stage press most likely don't shoot a high volume of ammo. That approach works, but isn't real effective if you have any other life commitments.
A double-charge in a pistol case is not a good thing, but it should be viewed as an opportunity to review current practices, and not as a sign from God that you need to pick another hobby.
Maybe I'm old fashioned. I can still load ammo, or read a book, or work in my shop, or hold a conversation, etc. without being distracted by a television show (or an iPhone). And I don't get bored in the process.
