Winchester WLR

[BFD]

So rooting around in my storage and found 800 WLRM primers, lot #KEL169G which look like not on recall. But even better, 800 WLRM primers!!! OMG! Highway robbery! I paid $18.50/brick! How dare they!

Oh the coveted white box. "For standard or magnum rifle". I bet they're bad. You can mail them to me. I'll dispose of them...

Nope

They are now reserved for Ramshot Hunter and Big Game which from recent reference stated these powders shoot best with WLRM. Going to load up FM210 versus these.

Well that sucks

I know this is a slightly older thread, but I too have experienced this . It's mostly in the bronze colored primers. I have some of the nickel plated ones, that I haven't had issues with. Years ago, I threw away a slew if brass, thinking that the pockets were bad.
