I finally got around to buying new SD rounds so I rounded up all the old misc rounds to take to the next range session. Among those I had 8 rds of Speer 45acp, one has a dent on the primer.
I don't know how it got there, its off to one side and is about .100" long indented more on one end. Kinda like the round was dropped on a metal edge.
My questions are:
>can rounds go off by being dropped on the primer? (I would think so in just the right scenario...)
>does the dent compromise the integrity of the round? ie: could it misfire, or be more sensitive or prone to slamfire...?
