I have never had a dud with a Win large or small primer.

How do you prime? On the press or by a hand tool?
how will weighing the cartridges not tell you if they have powder in them? Im not trying to smart or anything(im new to this and still learning) but if I take a good know round powder and all and weigh it, wouldnt it weigh less if it didnt have 7.0g of powder in it?
I did not try and fire the round again. To be honest I was nervous about doing it because I have never ran into this issue before. I prime by a lee hand tool. After every time I inspect the primer and they are flush with the brass case.
