how much lube would it take inside the case to contaminate the whole charge enough that it would not go off?
and I loaded a couple hundred 223 military cases without removing the crimp, crushed every primer, 2 even went off while seating but after being loaded they all fired. so I stick to my original post

Makes for a Depends moment, don't it!!! LMAO!!! I am glad I am not the only one this has happened to. Reassures you why I wear safety glasses while primeing and loading!!!!

Gawd! that was 32 years ago I have learned a bunch since then

Wish I could say I have learned alot, but I always do some thing that proves otherwise!!!!!

Exactly. What if your divine task was to brush your teeth on December 22nd, 2013? Guess you better be walking on eggshells!

I wasn't slamming your post, just adding a couple things I've seen to your list. There are probably others neither you or I listed.

LOL Oh man...I did that once....maybe twice before I figured out why that happened.

I've had prmers not go bang due to obvious light strike, but never with a good strike.

I am not a reloader, but is all this discussion over a simple "miss fire" - It happens every blue moon.

At the range they have a medal box to drop them in.

Bigtime - In your case; make "the sign of the cross" and thank the good Lord !!!

I figured this would be the case. Iv had em not get a good strike. I was looking at buyin a sks off a guy i knew last summer. He handed me 100 round cheapo surplus ammo and a round fired but just the primer i believe i ejected it loaded the following round and before firing i noticed no bullet on the case. Cleared the mag and the bullet was just about 1/2 inch down the barrel the powder in the case was clumby and greenish. Took 20 minutes banging the rod down the barrel to remove the barrel. But the bullet bout bout a air hole in my head is the only one iv had not go at all with a good strike.
