    As Gibo said, just avoid Winchester I guess. If you don't know cos they don't pipe up and say/do anything, then what other option is there? They must just be using the old 'ignore it and maybe it'll go away' tactic. This is the second issue I've heard of/seen in a few months - and haven't heard any comment from them at all. It's not like they can just blame it on amateur reloaders or whatever now, they're factory rounds

    Now, I've got 900 small rifle primers of theirs that I'm starting to look at sideways.. Only $50 worth, should probably just $1 reserve them with a 'buyer beware' or hand them in for destruction rather than worry about potentially blowing up my $2k gun and maybe blinding myself. It's a major issue and I'm steering well clear in the meantime
