Winchester large rifle magnum primer question

[dennishoddy]

Ok, ok, you guys are more impatient than a pregnant chick waiting on her hubby to get home with the pickle flavored ice cream to satisfy her cravings. Lol

I had recently loaded 100 rounds of .243 WSSM just prior to deer season using Winchester primers.
Last night I was putting the rounds from the magazine back into the ammo box when something caught my eye.
I shot the rifle 4 times during the season. I checked all 100 rounds with one anomaly. A single brass primer among 99 silver ones.

That is concerning how one is flat and pretty firing pin punch and the other is rounded with a large firing pin punch.

I thought the same, but it's an optical illusion and the round hasn't been fired. Blemish of some sort.

As you know, CCI is my goto primer, but I have several boxes of Winchester left after the big primer shortage back in the day when you bought anything that was available. They still go bang!

I honestly doubt that it is an issue, but I would still run it by Winchester. Be interesting to hear if they have an explanation.
