Mate there's excess pressure signs in this brass too.

Especially the bottom right hand case and 2nd down on the right have leaking primers and extractor marks in the head stamp.

Others have extractor marks in the head stamp.

I'd take all your ammo back to the supplier along with your rifle and ask for an explanation.

Can you post a photo of your bolt face.

Cheers

The dark ring you see around your firing pin hole has been etched into the bolt face by high pressure gasses leaking from the primers of the ammo you have shown us.
This is a direct result of the excess pressure signs we have seen in this ammo.

The bolt face may need some attention as a results.

I'd be looking to the ammo supplier to remedy this.

Do you have a photo of the Winchester head stamps?
