Need some help/advice.
Seating primers in 38 Special, mixed brass.
On the upstroke I occasionally get a piece of brass where I really have to force the handle up to get the primer to seat.
Happens on more than one brand of brass, and all commercial, so no crimped primers. The primer lever is coming down in between the the little bumps in the base, so not an alignment issue.
Also tried 2 different shell holders, a Lee and a RCBS, with same results.
I've cleaned the arm, and the sleeve, and even took a fine scotch bright pad to it to make sure no burrs. Tried rotating the shell holder, nothing seems to help.
Happens with both Cci and Win primers.
Pics below. Any advice?
