i just picked up a 100 pack of 9mm winchester 115 grain.
ive bought lots of this stuff in the past, and no issues, they always have 101 rounds in the box (guy at the shop laughed and said he even got 102 once)

the primer looks extremely defected, to the point that i dont know what to do with it.
there is a hole in the primer, is it still a live round? (im treating it as love and unstable)

the stamp on these say "WCC 12" and have a circle with 4 dots on it (bought 2 boxes and both have same stamps)
these came from the new sail in etobicoke, i assume this is a 2012 batch, the previous ones i usually get from Lebaron say "WIN 9mm Luger"

what do i do??
sorry about the grainy pics..i only have a blackberry no real cam .

The primer is mashed into the pocket sideways. It is not usable.

If you are a reloader you should have the tools to pull the bullet and decap the primer.

If not, set the round into an empty beverage can and set it in the woodstove or on a hotplate. The can will keep all the components together after the "pop".
 
I have reloading equipment that was given to me, but its a old mix matched set.
Ill get rid of this @ the range.
Thanks for the info.
