As has been said many many times..crap do happen. That really doesn't happen very often though. I have only seen one case kinda do that. It was a Berdan primed 8mm Mauser. Blew the primer at the shot..Only had one flash hole of the 2..Good grief..it was wayyy too many years ago too. Rifle was a war time Mauser dated about 1944 if i remember..the ammo I can't remember other than being Berdan. Didn't hurt the rifle or the shooter. Just sounded odd so we looked. Shootin rats at the dump. What can i say..it was cheap ammo...and a cheap gun too. I know the rifle was bought from Kleins in Chicago..ammo..who knows. The guy also had a Ruger 44 mag semi auto carbine..neat but spensive to shoot..even in the 60's

Yep, happens on rare occasions with the best companies.
I once had a box of Winchester 9mm Luger wherein one round 'fizzled' in the pistol, not firing just smoking. The primer was in sideways and got crushed - finally 'popped' by the firing pin.
TWO more rounds in that box had the same sideways primers!!

Turned me off Winny Whitebox 9mm for years.......
