Yes to uniform no to flash hole. I'm pretty meticulous about inspection. Still possible for human error but I'VE been through all the ordinary. No looking at the un -ordinary.
How do you handle your primers? If you use your fingers, your own body oil can ruin the primer. Otherwise, I've used 20 year old primers with complete reliability.I was out shooting some reloads yesterday in a 6.5 CM comparing them to some factory loads. I had a couple hang fires and a couple no fire in the reloads. There's plenty of primer/pin contact and no issues with the factory loads. All I can figure is that the primers are too old?

Same here with CCI primers from early eighties.I am still shooting Hirtenberg SP, SR and LR primers that was manifactured in the 1980's. No misfires. Key is to keep them cool and dry!

Brother, don't worry bout these "know it all's." Low self esteem folk are easily recognized on forums as they always gotta criticize you to feel better bout themselves!Would you explain what you mean by a reloader issue?
