[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 2413791, member: 711"] Since you said the brass was Lake City and that it still had some of the military crimp, it may be possible that the distortion of the primer rendered it super sensitive to even a slight impact. Having seen one shotshell primer go off as it was seated (the guy said he "went" right along with it), it seems possible that you just got a bad one from the manufacturer. The guy who had the shotshell primer go off had loaded literally hundreds of thousands of rounds. Of course I am glad that you are okay. Congratulations on having the good sense to wear the glasses. About primer pockets, I use a swage tool that does the job without cutting brass, and does it very quickly. Had it so long I forget who made it, but I think maybe it was RCBS. There are two different parts for large or small primers. As I recall, the tool was only about twenty bucks. I can't see how static electricity could have caused this, but when handling powder in super dry conditions, it's something to keep in mind. If you learn more, please let us know. [/QUOTE]
