Is it possible to put 2 primers in a pocket?

I don't think its possible to seat 2 primers in the same primer pocket. You probably just had 2 escape without noticing. The little buggers are always looking for a chance to get away! :)
 
I also believe that you can't put two primers in the same hole but when you knock an entire tray off the counter onto the floor losing two is simple
 
If your wife vacuums them up she may not be happy with you if one goes off.

I have a friend of mine that blew up a vacuum with a primer. Not unlike a dust explosion in a grain elevator. Might at least make sure she doesn’t use one where the primer can contact the impeller. Sometimes you might just get a funny smell but I’ve seen photos of one that had blown up.

Yeah my dad reloaded damn near his whole life and my mom used a Kirby not a great combination
 
The missing primers are probably on the far side of the moon where missing socks go.

I reload S&B pistol cases and use a hand primer. Getting one primer fully seated is a feat. Putting two in a pocket would be nigh impossible.
 
I have managed to put some in sideways and some upside down (just to see if it could be done of course;)), but I don't think two in one case is possible unless something was very wrong with that piece of brass.....

They are small and you have to watch them, sometimes you get a few that don't want to die for the cause and try to escape:D
 
The floor area in my loading area is covered with spent primers. Thats why I don't go looking for singles that I have dropped. The simple solution is the vacuum cleaner and then all are gone again.
The only way to get two primers in is to drill out the pocket to a hole! Then you can put all 100 in the same place.
