These stories always interest me. Primers generally require a moderate blow to detonate, so I just don't see how this happens in the normal reloading process, on press or off press. I am not doubting it happened, just can't see how. I've been at this for right at 4 decades, more than 250k rds on a ss press, hand priming with lee, rcbs or Hornady tool, & the rest on Dillon progressives with the dreaded primer tube. Nothing. Nada, zip. I too have crushed primers into a case sideways on the press. So I feel there is some other missing something to these stories.
I would have agreed with you 100% until until last night -
