If you contact Win as noted in previous thread, they will help. They offered me repair work to the bolt face and would refund or replace the "questionable" primers.

I sent them 4 defects. I decided on replacements and they replaced 2600 primers I had from 2008 with 5000 new ones. I did not feel my bolt face damage required repair.

I was pleased with Winchester's handling.
