Upon examination of the cartridge before I threw it down the hill ( last time on these brass) the primer was flush just like all the others.
Mistake ? maybe, You will never KNOW......unless you can find that round and disassemble it.
Maybe bad primer ?
Maybe NO powder ?
You'll never know unless...
In 45 yrs +/- of handloading I've had TWO ftfs.
My little son was watching me at the end of my load table and PICKED UP 2 primers in his sweaty hands.
I ran out of primers ON the table ??? I knew I counted them out. HE had them
in his hand.
****** that was before 1986, 82,83,84, somewhere in there. ******
I marked those 2 rounds before I went shooting.
Those TWO rounds did not fire. I RE loaded with new primers.......BANG.
