No, he (the poster) was referring to a cartridge that spontaneously discharged while stored in the magazine of one of his friends guns, while hunting. No explanation for it.
Google reveals CCI was 'suspected' of material variances in their primer cups. (rifle primers) I'm also aware of some issues Remington had at one time but, I've not found anything indicating a pervasive, wide-spread issue circa mid 1990's across manufacturers. (i.e., stab-primers, small pist / Large rifle, et al)
I knew it might be a shot-in-the dark that someone might recall 'something' considering my question surrounds an issue that seems to crop up from time to time (bad lots) and the fact it was a good number of yrs ago.
