It's interesting to note that none of the lot numbers accompany reports of Win primer failures.

Lot numbers would expose a faulty batch.

However, if primers are bought by the hundred, it might be more difficult to find that empty box you loaded from five weeks ago

Of course, if Win did put out a bad lot, then THEY should have caught it, not us.

I use Win SP primers purshased six years ago with no problems.

However, I used Win 209 shotshell primers until they started making them with aluminum battery cups ( about two years ago ) and word spread that they had misfire problems.

I did load and fire 1,000 of them....no problems, but switched to Cheddite brand....much less expensive and quite reliable.
