Primer leakage can be caused by shooting minimum pressure loads. When you have ignition pressure climbs to 55-60 000 psi. This pressure is forced against the primer cup as well as the bullet, the primer cup is designed to flair against the brass primer pocket and creates the seal. You can get gasses escaping if THAT SEAL is not tight enough.
enjoy.

its not escaping gasses from the base of the primer.look at one closely.its a ####in torch out of the top edge of the primer.piss all to do with primer seal in this case.PERIOD
 
Fired 30 rounds today with a different lot number of win LR primers so far so good. I do have cci ones on order. I am gonna get in contact with Winchester and ship these back to get my money back to help towards purchasing more primers. Not a bad idea for you to look into this option as well.
 
The only primers that ever gave me problems were Federal primers, I use all kinds of primers depending on availability or performance and yes I still use Federal primers but the primers I use the most are Winchester, never any problems.
Cheers
