That was my initial suspicion, and I’m not ruling it out as a potential contributing factor. What weighted my thinking towards the primers is that everything I had loaded prior ... has gone bang...and only those loads made using the primers from that last brick are not igniting. I actually used different brass on the last attempt to be certain the primer was not seated too deep ...and they too were duds.
Tomorrow will try a new batch of primers and get the firing pin mechanism cleaned up.
And, in the future will use a plastic container...makes sense.
