So after cleaning some brass from some Remington core lokt in 308 I noticed one of them had a blown primer and a number of them had scrapes I'm guessing they are ejector marks so I'm guessing it is a pressure issue didn't even realize it when I shot them out of my ar10? Also checked out a box of winchester and those looked fine, so I guess my gun didn't like the Remingtons or any ideas what could've caused it ?

Pics would help. Blown primer ...... Pierced? Or out of the pocket? Scrapes on the neck? That could be from hitting the locking lugs on extraction. Need photos ......

Sounds like WAY over pressure from your description. Unusual for a factory load in my experience.

does it look like this? look at the 'B' and 'Y' - the circular ring is from the ejector... The brass is flowing into the ejector pocket. This is a sign of WAY too much pressure

Call Remington and have the lot number and details. They will mostlikely want the rest for inspection and testing. This is how many ammo recalls get started. They will usually replace the ammo as well.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch
