Correct, the case was not split. I was able to pick it out from the batch that it was tumbled with after the range. It had little resistance when ran through the size/deprime die because it never built enough pressure to expand the case, that's my guess at least. It looked fine, like every other case that was fired. I threw it in the recycle bucket though... It has bad juju.
Anyways, I use walnut media and think that it may have plugged the flash hole. If that happened, I wouldn't have felt that when seating the primer, right?
From yours and everyone else's responses, that's all I can come up with. I'll be giving brass an extra shake or two in the sifter after tumbling and will not be tumbling a second time after depriming.
