I did have one "dead" primer while shooting
It's been my experience that this is a truly RARE occurrence, though certainly not impossible. Ensure that you seat the primers FULLY to the bottom of the pocket. A primer that isn't quite fully seated will often take a blow that inserts it further but doesn't detonate it -- typically will fire the second time.

In real numbers, I would say that I've had less than 10 truly non-firing primers over 20+ years at the bench, where the primer simply wouldn't fire no matter what.

Did you give that round a second try, see if it discharged with a second hit?
