So, the final answer is:  unless the casing to bullet seal leaks cleaning fluid, and that cleaning fluid contains Sodium Carbonate, and during the cleaning process the primer never reaches 360C (620F) the bullet will discharge if used in a gun.

Excellent answer, but did you vote?

Hmmm...I just MIGHT have a round that fits this specific profile.  Maybe I can see if it fires sometime this week.

I went to the range today, and I have the definitive answer.   ::)

I am wondering though if ya'll think it would be worthwhile to start a new thread with a poll and ask everyone to play.  If they answer incorrectly, then their punishment will be the shame of being wrong and they have to donate $5 to the NFOA or NFOA PAF.  The folks that answer correctly get to walk away knowing the are absolute geniuses when it comes to reloading.

OR, should we just answer the original question?

What say you all?

Hmmm...I'm not sure.  Would kind of like to turn this into a game of sorts.  Regardless, it will be a while before I am discharged from the hospital and can get home to post the video.

Sure it would.  As long as it was loaded correctly in the first place.

Wow!  The "Will fire" sayers are out voting the "nay" sayers.  Maybe it's just people showing their confidence in my reloading skills.   ;D

You DON'T owe the NFOA or NFOA POF $5, AND you get to brag about how incredibly adept you are on the subject of reloading.

50/50 shot at getting it right, plus the voting tab is anonymous, so I had 100% chance of winning!
