Could have been. I've never seen in set back let alone as far as this one in any of the factory ammo I've shot over the years
. The only reason I even noticed this one is because I was doing testing and had all the shells labeled to track my data. The rest of the 100 or so emptiea we're normal
Can't say for sure though I doubt it. I think I would have felt it with my thumb. That is unless it was the first round dropped into the ejection port
What kind of action was it fired in? Manual action, did you pull back just slightly on the slide when it was fired?
Please explain how an oversized primer pocket could possibly allow the primer to back out when the action is locked up and the shell held firmly against the breech face?
I think you guys have identified the problem. I was able to easily seat the primer back down with little thumb pressure. I cut the crimp section off the hull and can push the primer back and fourth about .02" between seated and sitting proud. It's the only shell out of all fired that day and now checked that exhibits this movement of the spent primer.
I'm thinking the pocket was oversized but primer was seated. After firing & ejection, the shell hit the concrete pad on the firing line at the right angle allowing inertia to easily drive the primer partially out of a loose pocket.What kind of action was it fired in?

What makes you think a normal sized primer pocket holds the primer in place against 11,000 psi?
It SHOCKS me the number of people posting on this forum who fundamentally do not understand how firearms work.
Oh absolutely. Chris thanks again to you and everyone else for your replies. Mucho appreciated
I'll buy this explanation as it makes sense.
And yet you just posted a diatribe of how stupid another poster is for suggesting a loose primer pocket and the issue turned out to be………a loose primer pocket………..AND you now say it “makes sense”. I think you owe an apology to 4n210.I'll buy this explanation as it makes sense.
