I've had several factory Winchester 223 loads....
Pierce primers in my ARs and Mini14, but not the 5.56. The latter seem to do fine but loads like the. 64 grain Winchester, Razorback (very accurate in a couple of my rifles by the way), and 55 grain soft points. Only happens with Winchester 223. All other ammo I've run through my AR's including handloads do fine with no pierced primers.
