Posting links to items on sale Amazon and Office Depot gets "infractions" here, so you'll have to use your Google-fu.

You are most likely quoting me on TFL which is referencing ChattanoogaPhil from this thread.
Look up post #11

So... with the unusually high OOB reports they posted the advisory warning.

I am with BlueOvalBandit on this one. An OOB firing cannot happen in a AR15 with a Milspec bolt that is within spec and not damaged in some way. That does not mean it never happens but when it does the rifle, specifically the BCG, or the ammo is out of spec.
If you look at Ned Christiansen cutaway photo provided by BlueOvalBandit you can see that in order for the ammo to be the cause of the OOB firing the primer would be so proud of the case that there is almost no way you would not notice it when loading the round into the magazine. IMHO.
