When I enlarge the first photo, it almost appears as though the primer is pierced and punched outwards, as opposed to the little dimple normally observed on a primer strike. Could the punchout be the result of a fire condition on an unfired primer?

I often will toss unfired but damaged small arms ammunition into the woodstove to make them safe for disposal. In all cases the primer is what pops out of the case. (note: The bullet does not whiz around the room killing everyone like you see in the movies).
