    About 10 years ago this was a widespread issue with winchester large rifle primers. They are possibly from that era, as a "bonus" his bolt probably now has gas cut pits where the primer failed. I know as I had 2 rifles pitted that way. No liability was ever accepted but stuff got replaced. Someone in the near target school might remember more including the batches supposedly involved.
