Look close between the 308 and the WIN, see the outline of a circle? It's faint and hard to see in the picture but you can make out the circular shape if you try...




With Winchester primers I have had an issue of not getting much of the typical feedback with over pressure, they most always flatten out and by the time you have flow or "cratering" into the firing pin hole you have a sticky bolt...

Primer distortion is rather fool proof in most cases to spot warning signs of excessive pressure however you should always look at the whole picture for other signs as well, just because my primers looked good in this case and had I assumed my rifle was dirty resulting in a sticky bolt and I had pushed forward into the 44-45 grain test loads there is a real chance I would have damaged my rifle....

This is why it's important for you all to read threads such as these and ask the silly questions without fear of being laughed at... if you don't know you can get hurt.
