Your not the only one who had problems. Last fall I had a number of fail to fire WLR primers, lot# BGL314G. Some were so hard the firing pin barely put a dimple on them, instead of being anodized gold, most were a grayish color. I tried the ones that FTF in another 308 rifle and got the same results. I ended up pulling all those cartridges apart and reloaded them up again with Wolf primers. Why Wolf?? Because when primers were hard to come by, I picked up a 1000 pack at a gun show. I contacted Winchester, they sent me a return box with instructions that said some trucking company would pick up the package. That was last November, no one ever came to pick them up, so they still sit here packaged up ready to go. I'm not going to pursue it, after all its only a couple of dollars, but I did let them know there was a problem with that lot number.
