Reloaders do.
Every round gets inspected before it goes back in the box. Neck, shoulder, body and case head. Each round is labeled with the powder charge, type of powder, bullet type and coal. That way I can figure out what works and what doesn't.
Primers Ejecting?

Congratulations! You have just won the coveted sarcasm of the year award.
There are over 6 months left though, so someone else could still come out on top.
I had Primers falling out of my 7mm STW FACTORY Winchester ammo a few yrs back, called the rep and they wanted my gun to get shipped to the factory , I refused , and settled on a coupon worth $50.00.I never did get to the bottom of it tho, just use reloads or anything but Win ammo in it.A friend had the same thing happen with the same calibre , bought in the same place!!!! Both rifles are Ruger NO 1 , and both barrels are custom jobs done by the same gunsmith.
Now THAT is weird... one hell of a coincidence, that's for sure!
As for the sarcasm, well... what can I say? First, in accepting this award, I'd like to thank my father, for being oh so sarcastic himself, and of course Mr. Doyle, for giving me this opportunity. I know there's still six months in contention, but I will be zealous in my endeavors to retain this noble crown!
In all seriousness though, it doesn't sit well with me when people who haven't given any assistance with the actual problem at hand feel the need to chime in with some nugget of wisdom that's quite obvious in hindsight.
PS: Mr. Doyle, I'm curious. I got this great new electric razor, but I can't get a decent shave out of it. What shaving cream would you recommend?
So you now admit that continuing to fire failing rounds (for which you have no explaination as to the cause) is obviously not a smart thing to do. Looks like my work here is done. Glad you learned something. You'll have to forgive me for caring more about your continued good health and eyesight then I did for the cause of the high bolt thrust pressures and expanded primer pockets. Maybe we could have worked out a cause if you had retained a few rounds to pull apart and measure instead of shooting them all.
Play safe and have fun.
I have recently had factory ammo that was also over pressure .it was blue box federal 130 gr 270win the primers didn,t fall out but there is very clear impression of the ejector on the case head .there was no indication apon fireing that they were high in pressure ( no stiff bolt left or ejection issue )I only noticed when I got back home and was prepareing to reload the fired brass.there were 5 rounds in the box that showed the ejector mark.I exammen every reload that I shoot but don,t usually inspect factory ammo.has over pressure is usually a non issue.the strange part is that there is no lot number stamped on the box.it was bought at a local gun shop .so I guess what can be taken from this is that factory ammo can and we will have issues as well.
I hunt in soaking wet weather all the time. My rifle, ammo, clothes and everything else gets soaked to the skin. I've never ever had high pressures due to water on the ammo!
We hunt in the same rainforest Gate, but on opposite sides of the extra wet spot soon to be called the Salish Sea. We share the same experience with wet ammo too! Far more common to come home soaked to the skin than otherwise, and a dry patch followed by some oil in the bore mandatory.

I would say that the rifle has issues. Another member pointed out the rings around the necks of the fired cases. To me that would indicate a chamber that was too short. I wold not fire the gun in the mean time as when the primers start falling out the pressure isn't just a little high, but through the roof.

Sometimes I miss the coast and then I think of Gatehouse and Rob soaked and risking arthritis with every outing . That and memories of eyes full of water and hemlock needles everytime you bring your glasses to your eyes and I don't feel so coast-sick.
This was the 5th post on this thread. His story is all wet.
Wet cases can cause an artificial headspace problem. The case doesn't fireform to the chamber properly, which will show up as extruded primers usually. I have also seen ejector hole extrusion on occasion as well though. - dan
