[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2998484, member: 122164"] You may want to try and see if you can seat the primer with your bench press. Crud does accumulate in the bottom of the primer pocket, and some cams on the hand priming tools get worn over time. You have one or more of three problems, the radius in the bottom of the primer pocket is too great, crud in the bottom of the primer pocket will not allow the primer to be seated with normal pressure, and your priming tool is showing signs of wear. On primers that are not fully seated, they can give the impression that the case may need full-length sizing. If you extract the case without firing and look at the primer, you can see where the bolt face has scored the primer. ON a primer that is not fully seated, the firing pin will try and seat the primer when it falls, some say that this gives weird ignition issues, but I do not know the answer to this question. A good carbide tool that uniforms the primer pocket is money well spent. I have deprimed many thousands of primed brass over the years without an incident, but I do not slam the decapping pin against the live primer, slow and easy with a deliberate motion. Do not store the decapped primers in an open container near flame or sparks. [/QUOTE]
