"Dam this primer is tough to seat !!"

I have had the same problem although I believe the tool was at fault.
But don't quote me on that since it hasn't been recently.
 
I like to prime on the press, so it's pretty easy to do with that much leverage on the ole rock chucker. I just punch them out and seat a new one.
 
Thought I replied a few days ago.
The internet must have eaten my homework.


Short version:
I did that a few years ago with a Lee shell holder in an RCBS priming tool, at 3 am, and scared the crap out of the whole household.
BANG!
They thought I had shot myself. :eek:


(Lee shell holders suck. They're bad in their own tools, and even worse in other brands of priming tools.)
 
Lee makes 26 sizes of shellholders (some fit multiple cartridges, sometimes losely) while RCBS makes 54 that all fit properly.
When I noticed the wobbly freeplay, I stopped buying Lee shellholders.
