I blew a primer from a case once. Once.
Learned a bunch about heat and ball powder. Load was about a max charge of H450 ina 270 win. Looked after ejecting case and saw a primer. What? Looked at case and said "oh shit". Stopped shooting. It was 90° plus and the barrel was pretty hot.
Good thing it didnt do any more than that as it was my mom shooting in prep of her forst deer season. She used a different load.
Learned a lesson that day. We got lucky. I don't press my luck anymore.
