I had several Rem 7 1/2 primers fail. They were pretty old but stored in dry temperature controlled room. Out of 50 rounds I loaded probably had 6 bad primers. Threw the rest of the brick away and that was just last year so throwing almost a 1000 primers away during the great primer shortage of early 20’s hurt but that’s too many to fail to trust them.
First bad primer I've ever had

Occasional "bad primers" are a fact of life when you reload. Sometimes it is actually a light strike or a brand with harder primers for a given gun. I have a Smith 642 with a light hammer which is only reliable with Federal SPP. Sometimes nothing else is awry, the primer is just a dud.
