I ran into a few 380's last night while loading up some 9mm.
I never seem to have this problem where they get past the powder drop stages. However, I don't use a progressive, so that likely plays a major part.
I use a turret press and as such I handle each brass more often and I am only doing one operation with each stroke of the handle. As i place it into the shell holder, the smaller brass is a bit looser and I've caught a few that way. Other times, when I do the decapping function the .380 brass clearly feels different through the press arm (only operating one round, dont' have the 3-4 other simultaneous stages). caught one that way too. never any past these two points.
I also give a quick glance at each finished round as it pull it out of the shell holder and drop it into my catch tray, another screening point, looking at the OAL, primer depth, and overall result.
I've had .357 brass get in w/ the .38 brass. even harder to pick up w/ 1st pass visual however those are quick to notice on the belling stage as the 1/8" longer case makes quite a bit of difference...
