I got away from Win primers due to differances inseating pressures,(one primer would almost fall out, replace it with another that would feel normal) seemed to always be at that point of feeling to easy for a good fit.After switching to CCI's that went away. < But> At that time it was Remington brass and most of the issues (I think)was the brass,some was the primers being a little smaller diameter than CCI's. I now don't bother with Rem brass unless no choice. I don't think Win primers are bad either, I just have been staying with mostly CCI with a couple bricks of Federals mixed in.
It is possible to use a sealer(like many factory loads) to help prevent leaking and get some more uses out of the brass, but I don't have much experiance with the stuff to garantee it.
