Strangest thing. Loading 223. on the 650. Everything was going smoothly. Seated a primer and BANG. primer fired while seating it. Heard about that happening, but in close to 100,000 rounds loaded - first time for me.
Nothing on the face of the primer indicated anything. looked like it went into the pocket perfect. Still looked like a new primer. My only guess is that there was foreign material in the pocket that caused it to fire.
Also rather surprising that it wasn't that loud. a lot like the old paper cap guns IMO. Didn't do anything unusual on the press either. just a little smoke out the top of the case.
Didn't find any material or anything odd in the case when I extracted the spent primer. so I'm guessing it must have destroyed/ejected whatever the object was through the flash hole.
I wonder if a piece of media stuck in the pocket would have enough resistance to set one off. Who knows.
