    Glad you're ok. I wear my normal poly-carbonate glasses. Think I'll start wearing something wraparound. My autodrive is on autopilot. Have been fortunate in a few hundred thousand rounds to have not had a detonation.

    This exact thing happened to @JV_ a few years ago.

    I wear these $13 DeWalt safety glasses, I have pairs for the range and reloading. Highly recommended.

    Yea, it was LOUD. After this, I stopped putting the bullet on top of the plastic primer tube pusher, for a touch extra weight. Projectiles are projectiles ...

    I am pretty religious about the eyes, but never really considered my ears. Might be a good idea to do the headphones.

    I had something similar happen when a friend (really) was loading 44 Magnum on my 650. I can't recall how many primers went off but it was a learning experience. Both of us had eyepro on and no injuries occurred, but learning took place. He bought his own 650 shortly after so it didn't scare him off.

    Glad you are OK.
