Winchester brass problems. ~ A FRIENDLY ADVISE POSTING ~

[Pureblood]

This damage was caused by using Winchester cases. The primer pockets were oversize resulting in gas escaping between the pocket and the primer. Winchester primers were used.. I have since dumped all my Winchester cases.

My Winchester primers work well with other brands.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it was Winchester primers, not the brass. This is a known issue with Winchester primers.

Is that what you have personally experienced ?

 

[quigley257]

Yes

 

[Pureblood]

Yes

Then please post the details

You seem to have experienced it for yourself. No need to elaborate. Faulty primer construction leading to gas leakage and erosion of the bolt face. Do a google search and see for yourself. We have had Winchester cover the repair costs of rifles damaged by their primers.

This is true for most of us, but Pureblood lives in a different world

I had the same problem with the WLRM primers.

I am now using Winchester primers in PPU, Gecco, PAC, and S&B cases without any issues

Resistance or lack of can be felt when using a hand primer. Resistance is what's needed.

Good for you. You seem to come on here, make statements or ask a question, then argue with every response you receive. Best of luck. Go troll somewhere else.

Asking you to post details of your claim is not arguing or trolling. Though it might seem that way if can't post any details.

I have a few rifles that I run so hot, the primers blow on almost every shot. When the bolt face erodes, I take it to a local welding shop and have them run some hard surface welds on the face, then get my local machine shop to mill it back down to print specs. After that, they withstand hundreds of blown primers before you start seeing the erosion again.

Do you use pulled down X39 components? Asking for a friend...

I don't own x39 anything. No x39 guns or ammo.
