Yeah mine are lucky if they get the lee pocket cleaner run over them, generally do for the 338, just feel like with that much powder getting burnt it might be wise but who knows.
My case prep is pretty much, deprime/resize, primer and seat bullet, after putting in powder of course.

Would guess that tool in a power drill could get away on you pretty quick

I don't clean my primer pockets never have.I think the size was the issue but like I said ill see what the expurt people say

Or contact the importer and return them. They might even replace them with something other than Winchesters. Like I previously mentioned they were only too happy to replace my unused primers with CCI (pretty much all they had in stock at the time). My batch came from Steves Wholesalers and were replaced through my local store after I contacted the importer direct.

It's only cosmetic damage eh. Luckily Abe cleaned most of my mess up!

Out of 20 + years of reloading and many thousands of rifle and pistol rounds I have had no problems with Winchester primers but I have with federal
