John Martz is certainly an expert on the Parabellum System, but this is an interesting, yet, very confusing, comment. Perhaps John just adjusts his fine handmade pistols to function best with Winchester ammo.

How could Winchester be placing them differently than, let's say, Remington? Under 33,000 to 35,000 pounds of pressure, any primer will move to the rear.
