Any chance of a bad crimp and your bullet partially came out of the brass, or an undersized bullet. Either could cause powder to burn slow (more of a sizzle) and velocity to be way slow.

Nope, don't use a loading block. I have a small container of sized, primed and flared brass. I pick up one piece of brass, place under powder measure, drop powder into case, check visually for level of powder, place bullet in flare and seat it with press. Drop into another small container to be plunk tested when done with batch.
I also check powder measure with the beam scale every 10-15 rounds.

After looking into many cases one at a time your eyes can get tired and assume you have seen a case at the proper fill level
when in fact you did not.
This can and will happen.. a loading block could be your friend .. as you look into a bunch of cases at a time and scan them and the odd one out(too high or too low) really pops out..

If you PM me your address I will send you a free Oak loading block for the size you load for.
As this may eliminate, I say may eliminate the issue.
The rest is up to you.
