Yep, I’ve found a fair amount of Winchester brass with crimped pockets.
At least Federal is nice enough to put the NT stamp of their crimped brass for easy ID for us reloaders.

I don't speak Woke. Can you say that in English?
When I first started reloading in 1970, I used military brass in 38 Spl, 45 ACP, and 7.62 Nato. All had crimped primer pockets which I had to process one at a time. I used a sharp pocket knife blade to remove the crimp. Not all 38 brass had crimped pockets. National Match .45 and 7.62 brass did not have crimped primer pockets.
I experienced crimped primer pockets with some .308 Federal Gold Medal Match. Swaging didn't work well for me. Reaming worked better. I recall that the headstamps on the crimped cases were distinguishable from the usual commercial stuff.
Thanks Wayne, I appreciate it. I have a few buckets for him as well.
