They may not have held a primer, but he primes with his press, so as long as the primers didn't fall out, he may not have noticed that they were loose.
Thus is why a smart person inspects before during and after reloading regardless of whether it is pick up brass or lot matched new brass.
I have found inperfections in new Winchester , Lapua and Remkngton brass among others ,over the years .
