Since the primer in that round is now raised a bit, would it be possible to pry it out from the top instead of poking something through the hole in the casing? If you could pry it out from the top, exposing the primer pocket, couldn’t you easily tell if the flash hole is either blocked or nonexistent? Or when the primer went off, would it have plugged that hole up anyway? Sorry if that sounds like a dumb question; I’m just thinking out loud. I really like that theory; it makes more sense to me than anything else we’ve discussed...
