I am not sure that I understand exactly what failure happened here. Was there one round that misfired?
I have fired quite a bit of Remington factory .38 special rounds. I have found them to be a little bit dirtier than some other factory rounds, but basically they are fine. When they are on sale at a good price, I buy them. I have not had problems with misfires.
It is my understanding that Remington primers require a slightly harder firing pin strike than some other primers. Does your revolver have a trigger job or a lightened mainspring? Sometimes a revolver that has been tuned to reduce the double action pull weight will have misfires with certain primers. In these cases, slightly increasing the mainspring tension usually solves the problem.
