[QUOTE="Pnumatix, post: 672103, member: 49309"] I have two WLR primers let go. Both with starting loads that I have since worked up to higher loads (under max). The first was in a Winchester coyote 308. The second was in a Tikka T3 in 243. Neither was a firing pin perforation. Both were leaking about quarter of the way around the outside of the primer. Both gas cut the bolt face to a small degree. No primer pocket stretch could be measured. The 308 case has been reloaded since several times. The 243 case was a write off. Both cases were Remington. Both primers came from the same pack. I have since ditched them and changed to Fedral. Very dissappointed as I have used Winchester primers almost exclusively for about thirty years, and many thousands of reloads. Couldn't conclude anything else other than a bad batch......... [/QUOTE]
