    The usual explanation from the primer companies is that the primers have been exposed to ammonia ions after leaving the manufacturer .
    This etches the stressed part of the primer cup leaving a week point which fails under normal pressure.

    Federal had this happen with small rifle primers years ago.
    I use Rem 7.5 sr primers in 6 PPC .

    Pity as the Winchester plated primers were very good.

    The Russian primers do not seem to have this problem.
