I ordered 10k Tula pistol primers while Powder Valley had 'em on sale. 5k large and 5k small. I sat my Hornady L-N-L AP up to run some .45 ACP's. I started out with about 100 CCI primers I already had in a tube and then switched to the Tula primers. Shortly thereafter, I started having problems. In a nutshell, the presses primer seater would not seat the primers deep enough with consistency. If the primer wasn't deep enough, and the shell plate tried to index, it would lock up. I'd have to take things apart to straighten it out. I thought the problem was with the press and it's priming system. After about 20 jam ups, I wised and and thought it may be the primers. I swapped back to CCI primers and things ran smooth as always...Just passing along the info. Of course your results may vary.
I did try the Tulas with a Lee hand primer and they seated to the proper depth.
On a positive note, I shot a mag full of of the Tula primed ammo and it all shot time.
