Primers falling out of factory ammo when fired

TWalker
I recently bought some new factory bonded ammo in brand W to try this fall in my .270 rifle. It was very accurate and I only needed a slight elevation adjustment to get it sighted about 2 inches high at 100 yds. On about the 4th or 5th shot, however, I noticed that the primers were falling out when the empties were ejected. I switched to brand R and all is well again. The factory had me send them the entire box to test and has promised a letter with their findings after they do some tests. Any of you ever have this problem before with factory ammo?

    You can never tell. I had some problems with some 9mm that left huge amounts of unburned powder in the barrel and action. When I called them, they had me send it back and then sent me coupons for twice the amount I had sent to replace the ammunition and a letter on their findings

    I had some factory 6.8 Remington SPC from Silver State Arms that blew the primers out of my AR15. This was verified by CMMG.

    I bought a box of Fed 30/06 which a primer had fallen out of before I bought the box. Called Fed, sent them the crimped ctg and they sent 10 boxes in return.
