I have had three factory ammo misfires- Two with WWB 130 gr FMJ .38 special (lots were years apart) and a Hornady Custom .380 XTP, which I found out was loaded with a Winchester primer after calling the factory to complain.
I once found a winchester factory 38 on the ground at the range. the primer was all mashed and blown out. upon inspection, it was a factory round, winchester bullet, brand new case. The powder was still all in there and there was a flash hole. The issue with that round is that it had TWO anvils that were overlapping eachother. I still have that primer somewhere.I have found CCI primers with no anvil in the cup. Very rare but I use a lot of primers.
