Not sure about the Win's, but CCI are a full .001 bigger than the Rem,s.
 That's enough to feel the differance when seating.

Some primers require more pressure to seat in some cases. In close to 50yrs of loading, I don't recall ever scraping a handgun case because of stretched primer pockets. I manage to lose them or the case neck cracks long before that.
Enlarged primer pockets may be a problem in the super magnum handgun cartridges, but in my experience, not in the lesser calibers.
