I find something fishy. You have to hit a primer pretty hard to get it to fire off and just sitting a bag down won’t do it. If the were in the container that they are shipped from the manufacturer in, a square flat piece of plastic with a each primer sitting in its own hole separate from the others, it would be darned near impossible to get them to explode.
As a reloader, I can say that from personal experience, a primer doesn’t go off without a sharp, pointed hit. The only kind of primers I can think of that are more sensitive are muzzle loading caps.
I’ve got a quarter that says these were caps for a muzzle loading pistol or rifle. Even then, it is really odd that anything could make them go off within an enclosed bag.
Something is very fishy, including the extreme lack of knowledge exhibited by the writer.

Agreed the Idiot most likely removed them from their packing dumped them in a common container, Just asking for a problem.
Remington ships their primers 10 to a row on their side and are held in the thin cardboard skip by a piece of tape. I don’t think it would be difficult to jiggle them out of a box if you have Baby King Kong handling your bag like the old Samsonite commercial.
