Both shells from same gun?

Thats what Im thinking, "dry" fired on empty ( fired ) round.

Really low pressure charge, maybe.

We need more details.

No anvil in primer?

That's possible. My daughter and her boyfriend were shooting this rifle; I was not present.

Yes. Rem 788

I don't think so. It's possible, but I don't think likely. I hand loaded these rounds.

No anvil in primer?

If it is possible for the primer to fire without the Anvil?

First thing is it's a 222. Great little caliber.

What am I supposed to see?

Doesn't look over pressure to me.

That's what I'm asking.
I hadn't seen it before. I was wondering if it was a pressure sign, but found it hard to believe that it was.

Dry fire another casing a few times, and compare it.

[Jon B]

Pressure usually causes a distinctivly flat primer looks as if it was pushed against the bolt face and firing pin.

I think the shoulder was set back too far. Or the primer pocket was reamed too deep

Google: cratered primer from overpressure.
