The case of the incorrect powder on the loading bench. A simple mistake that can happen to anyone.All the reason more to be

EXTRA, EXTRA CAREFULL when reloading.

I just had to pull apart 50 rounds of .44 for the above mentioned reason. Wrong powder. I'm just glad I caught it when I did.

One less .444 in the world today. Sniff! The guy was lucky. How you confuse AA-7 with Reloader-7 is a mystery to me. Depending on what bullet he was using, the load with Reloader-7 would be 44 to 50 grs. of powder. That many grains of AA-7 pistol powder is a tiny bomb.

Another reason why I only use one powder for all of my pistol cartridges.

Amateur Reloader..   A can of reloader 7 looks nothing like  AA#7. Even two different manufactures..

Wow he was lucky, that's why it's important to get everything set up & triple check your primers, powder & projectiles. Then reread the book & your notes then start.
