I have even had issues with Winchester factory ammo (bought for break in, intended to reload the cases after first firing). I had a box of 243 in which 3 wouldn’t even chamber. The necks and shoulders were misshapen badly. Same box had 2 primers suffer gas leaks around the primers, a small amount but noticeable upon inspection. To Winchester’s credit they did refund me for the box, but I haven’t bought Winchester ammo since.
