It appears to be Winchester related.

I've had trouble with Winchester large pistol years ago. 2012ish.

I recall another forum mentioning primer edge burn-through on Winchester small rifle primers; 2 instances, one several years ago, the other within the last few months (though I don't know about manufacturing dates for those.)

So apparently it's an on-going thing.

Me too both large pistol and large rifle from that time period. I ended up with pitted bolt and slide faces on several firearms from the primers failing

Dayum dood!

Could you have posted this wth any LESS info?!?

Primer brand maybe?

Primer details? Large or small rifle??
Large or small pistol??

Maybe asking too much, but LOT # maybe???

WTF?

DOOOOD, I posted the info I had. If I had more info I would have posted it. No need to be a jerk. This aint my first rodeo. Usually, you start with a small fact or rumor and try to gather more info. That's what I was doing. If you don't have any info, then don't reply. The forum rules require you to be respectful and your post was not.

Do better. Maybe live by: "Better to let them think you are fool than open your mouth and prove it."

And if you took a moment to read down the forum before you posted, the answer presented itself.

And, if I had all that info, I would not have asked the question....jeez
