Oil won't only contaminate the primer, it will contaminate the powder as well. Try this experiment of yours with complete cartridges and give us the results.

I'm sure that Murphy will see to it that even if all rounds fire at the range, in time of need that small amount of lube on the breech face will cause a misfire. Well, that's how Murphy treats me anyway!
