[QUOTE="Jerry M, post: 1999966, member: 6330"] Not with a pinhole in the skirt of the primer. Hot loads will pierce the primer at the firing pin indent. I ruined the bolt of my 6.5 Remington Magnum 40X with WLR primers. I did my load development with the chrome plated primers and started a new box (unplated) and started blowing primers left and right. I changed from 140 grain to 100 grain 6.5 bullets to try and alleviate the problem. It did not work and no way was I over pressure. I wound up pulling and reprimeing like 325 rounds. Unfortunately, I did not keep the primer containers (or Lot Number) so I did not bother with contacting Wincheter. Learned a hard lesson about keeping there containers. Good luck Jerry [/QUOTE]
