I have never seen that happen and I have seen or myself dropped dropped rounds to the ground.
The ammo was sent back to Winchester for examination. They originally stated it was reloaded ammo (I knew it wasn’t) because they didn’t use a certain type primer. However, we went to Walmart and bought the exact same round...with the exact same primer. Then the hemming and hawing started.
I had long before stopped using Winchester ammo. That experience will keep me from buying Winchester.
