Unfired factory ammo, got one of these (in a case of 200):

That’s just the Hornady marketing department showing how they could load primers backwards and people would still buy their ammo.

 

[coast range]

Wow

 

[BRTreedogs]

It’s a primer that’s been installed upside down.

 

[nm.otter]

I suspected that might be the case. How common is it in factory-loaded ammo?

 

[id_jon]

It's part of Hornady's new golden primer program, you get to tour their factory now!

 

[CRJR45]

Yeah, I’m gonna need you to not use that one.

It's upside down, like this 30-06 core lokt! Gives me the warm fuzzies seeing how seriously ammo companies take quality control

 

[nm.otter]

Maybe if I decap it really quickly...

Wadcuttah!

I would spray wd-40 in the primer to kill it. Pull the bullet and dump the powder. Run through a decapper. Alternately, I feel sure Hornady will replace it.

Did ya shoot it?

I've had an upside down primer in a bulk box of 9mm blasting ammo. I figure with the quantity these companies load in a year, defects are bound to happen. They can try as hard as they want, but the odds are not in their favor.
