I have the Lee Auto prime. I reload .38 Special and .357 Magnum. I use CCI 500 Small pistol primers. I have no issues priming .38 special it primes the cases very well but when I try to prime the .357 brass the primer gets stuck and I have to move the case around and crush the primer then decap it on my press, which I hate doing because of the risks involved. I reloaded about 26 .357 cartridges yesterday and I got 10 primers stuck in the case that I have to remove from just that one loading session.
The brass I'm using is brand new Starline brass. Is this something that the Lee Auto primes are known for? Am I doing something wrong, I am following the instructions to the letter. It just seems totally random, I can prime 10 cases easily and then randomly I get one stuck, then I can prime 7 more and get 2 stuck. It just seems random.
