Could be a case of a tight chamber and the looseness of the lever action causing "dropped" primers and not blown. If the cases felt normal when being decapped, I'd suspect dropped primers as blown primers will almost fall out due to the pocket expansion. Lever actions because of their nature will often display excessive headspace issues. This is why many manuals recommend the use of virgin or once fired cases for max or near max loads only because of case stretch due to loose lockup.
