Why did the HST fail? Did you check to see if the round was hitting the rifling? Or are they just a little fat? There is a big difference. If they are not too long but just a little fat there will be enough friction to keep them from spinning. FWIW I only drop for the plunk test. I don't spin unless it seems there may be a length issue.
Wow, I know this is an old thread! Does anybody know who makes the trap that completely covers the shoot target but drops down a few inches before opening so the head is exposed when it closes?

Firearm Ready Conditions
The ready condition for firearms will normally be as stated below.
However, in the
event that a competitor fails to load the chamber when permitted by the
Written Stage
Briefing
, whether inadvertently or
intentionally, the Range Officer must not take any
action, as the competitor is always responsible for the handling
I make it a habit to never load the same bullets in minor and MAJOR loads. My 9MAJOR loads are JHP’s only and minor are RN, coated, plated, whatever. I also keep them in different color ammo boxes
If I ever get involved in an indoor range I will be trying something like this, cut in strips and taped to furring strips
