Winchester brass problems. ~ A FRIENDLY ADVISE POSTING ~

What is wrong with asking someone to provide evidence of what they claim ? I want to see what Winchester had to say about it, that's all.
Why turn it into a big deal ?

There are some real delicate wall flowers about.

He told you what they said.

He told you what they said.

What has it got to do with you anyway ?

I would say it was your winchester primers. Had this happen when I bought some winchester primers. They blew a hole in the sides of the primer and primer pocket. Totally ruined my barnes brass. Found some federals and haven't had a single hole. My bolt face looks identical to yours, just not as many holes. Shot around 30 shots, around 8 primers burnt holes.

Call NASA they'll tell you to stop shooting into space before you hurt somebody.

I'm reminded of an old article from "The Onion" where a Redneck from Kentucky challenges Saddam Hussein to a contest on "World Shooting Into The Air Superiority." The bullets never come down, right?

I have had no problem since I got rid of the Winchester cases. I am now using cases from five different manufacturers with the same primers and am not having any issues. That's how I know the Winchester cases were bad.

I don't doubt your Winchester primers were bad, Winchester seems to have terrible quality control.

Well that's good. I should have traded you my primers for your brass! I guess there are good and bad in everything.

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.

There is a device that is a go/no go gauge for primer pockets, also. When you start using this to check primer pockets in the brass, you will find a variance in dia of the primer pockets, and Winchester primers can run small. Some loads demand a Win primer for the bug hole accuracy, and it is always trial and error.

A micrometer that measures into the .0001 reveals the answer to this issue, and primer dia between the brands of primers can vary a tad.

???????????????????????????????????????? Apparently there was a problem because Winchester had me send them back to them and sent me a check for them.Maybe you don't know everything.

I KNOW what is shown in your photos, so, are you speaking BS?
If you can't SEE the pinholes, then, yes, I do KNOW everything!

 

[MagnumManiac]

Do you SEE the issue here?
It's as PLAIN AS DAY & NIGHT!

Split primers look identical.

Remove the primers and then it will be as plain as day.

Split primers????

 

[Pureblood]

Split primers????

Yes split primers, they split due to excessive space in the primer pocket. Remove the primers and have a butchers.

I can see a split in one of your pictures.
