The dents are plenty deep, and not nearly far enough off center for that to matter. Bad primers, for sure. I recently commented to a friend that I've had more bad primers in factory ammo in the past year than I've seen in the last 40 years combined. I've been seeing overly hard primers failing to fire in guns that have ALWAYS hit hard enough, along with primers like yours, with deep enough dents that they should have fired, but didn't. Somewhere, QC has gone down the toilet. My problems of late have been with Fiocchi, WW white box, and Remington. No issues yet with Hornady or any other brand, but I've not bought any factory Hornady in over a year. This kind of problem sure shouldn't be cropping up in self-defense ammo.
