If you have a LNL press and the priming assembly does not seat the primers as deep as you like, try this.
Remove the priming assembly and carefully dissemble it making sure you do not lose the little spring or C clip.
Sand or file the bottom of the nut so the plunger is able to be pushed upward slightly further. This should not take very much at all, somewhere between .001” and .004”.
If you take off too much the spring will just take up the room completely and not let it go any deeper so a little will do it most times. Once this is done you reassemble everything, again being careful with the spring and C clip.
This should allow the priming system to seat slightly below flush.
Mine worked OK and seated the primers flush but I took off about .002” and now they all seat slightly below flush as I like.
