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.
Because there is enough variance in the other components that with handgun loads, usually less than 10gr of powder, it is virtually impossible to tell. THE ONLY WAY where they could be close is if all of the brass was made on one die or mould on the same day from the same material and the bullets were the same and primers too. And, no, that is not how they are produced!
