Impossible to tell, since you didn't list----the firearm involved, the load, your loading technique?

It looks like the edge of the prime let loose. Another picture of that case with the primer removed,(decapped), would give more info.

It looks like a LC-08 case, did you remove the primer crimp before seating a new primer? Failure to do that could deform the primer enough to allow it to leak when fired.

I'm through guessing, more info please!
