Not really sure what the "you'll develop a feeling or touch for how far to seat it" means. I have to go to full stop to seat between .002-.005. Is this normal?
I was using sized RP 9mm Luger but couldn't even get them off .000 for depth until I maxed the hand-held out. There is no touch to this but maybe that is the way it is.
I switched to sized Win and S&W and they primed better (easier) than the RP although they sized with quite a bit more effort than the RP. Roll pad RCBS lube was sparingly used for all three during sizing. Lyman carbide/sizing decaping die.
Do I need to ream these pockets out? Could my brand new RCBS #16 be out of spec? I couldn't even get the primers to seat correctly on my single stage. The S&W and Win seated really close to spec between .000 and .001 but wouldn't seat deeper. The RP seated at .000 or where you still feel the primer with your fingertip.
Hopefully, there is enough information for someone to tell me or guess at what is going on. I never, ever had priming problems using my single stage, rifle only, and this is strange to me.
