Remington Ammo Misfire

I was deer hunting yesterday and my buddy pushed a nice buck my way.
He stopped at thirty feet away and I got him in the scope and pulled the trigger.
Nothing happened.
Thinking that maybe I forgot to push my Winchester Model 70's safety off I did so again and re shot.
Still nothing and nedless to say the deer bounded off.
Later on during a lunch break I checked the ammo in the rifle and noticed the round had a nice firing pin dent in it's primer. I also noticed that the actual bullet was miscolered near the casehead.
The round was a Remington .308 150 grain Cor Lockt.
Quite frankly in 34 years of hunting and extensive shooting I have never before had a factory round misfire.
Has anyone eles had a similar experience?
