Need help identifying primer failure

wkndwarrior said:
This type of failure is a first for me, any guidance is appreciated.

I was out shooting a new-to-me BSA Martini in 17 Ackley Bee and the action jammed up. I had to remove the scope and tap on the block to get it to drop. I was expecting the firing pin to be stuck and broken or something similar but the firing pin is in tact and no apparent issues with the action/block.

The primer of the last fired round looks like it has a broken pin in it though, and looks ok on the inside. This was round 16 through the rifle and a very low charge. See attached pictures, can anyone tell what's going on here? Thank you
