Winchester brass problems. ~ A FRIENDLY ADVISE POSTING ~

Your on a hunting site where the people here are avid hunters and shooters !! Most reload and have a great respect for what there doing . If you load brass and can easily tell your brass or primers are junk they simply go in the trash . You on the other hand offer a good laugh till it gets annoying with your dangerous lack of common sense in what you're doing. Let's see pulling mill surplus and reloading the powder of a unknown type , the alien 👽 abduction thing ,shooting into space, and the spina junk scope sales pitch. It was funny and most are still laughing you add this to this post and offer advice on brass that you clearly knew was outa spec and primers that are loose and causing the bolt erosion but chose to keep shooting. It's not advice to anyone who has any idea what there doing . Hopefully the aliens 👽 will come back and probe you some more maybe they'll find some common sense in there somewhere.
Once again ! It's advise offered in the spirit of friendship and good will to fellow shooters. Take it or leave it, it's entirely up to you, nobody is twisting your arm.
 
Winchester did indeed have issues with primers I bought between 2008 and 2012.That problem is fixed now and their primers seat much tighter now.Contact Winchester,they can help you,we can't.

I recently was at an estate sale that had a lot of reloading stuff. I purchased about 2500 Winchester primers. Wondering do I use them to test for this problem or not ? The boxes looked fairly new so I wasn't concerned about how old they were. Now I wonder if I just need to trash them. Should I contact Winchester and have them check the lot #'s.

There is NOTHING wrong with how these primers seated, your primers all have pinholes in the radius…look at your own photos.
Please look into what you are posting prior to posting incorrect information.
Seems to be trending of late.

Cheers.
