Primer Mystery for sure. Did you get it from a store or from an online order? Some stores allow returns but I am not sure they are supposed to restock them as new. Not up to par on the laws of reloading supplies and all.
Wait until your my age getting down to look isn’t worth the effort it takes to get back up.
Where did you buy the primers? Was it Retail or a gun show or something?

Is it just one caliber? Mod the end of the primer punch. I had an RCBS primer pin that was doing that, but playing with the shape at the end fixed it.They stick on the punch pin and it pulls them back into the primer pocket so I can't remove the case without taking the shell plate off my press.

I always blamed that on the punch pin sneaking up past the anvil and the anvil pushing sideways on it keeping the primer from dropping off, or it misses the anvil and isn't long enough to push the primer out due to the cup of the primer stretching out into a cone shape.
I pick up a lot of Federal range brass the they do this a lot.
I did some experiments in a single stage press trying to figure out what was tying up my LNL-AP and found that the punch pin WAS missing the anvil and punch pin was stretching the face of the primer cup out to a cone shape and not pushing the primer clear out of the case due to not hitting the anvil.
I dropped the primer punch stem out as far as I could without the nut bottoming out in the case. That took care of almost all of it for me.
BTDT.It’s the primer that sets off the OCD of having an odd number of loaded rounds, or an odd number of remaining primers. Either way, it’s enough to keep a reloader up at night.
On my LNL-AP I use a universal de-priming die for 9mm range pickup mix, it has the spring loaded pin and it worked ok on CCI until the spring broke.
It is definitely seriously annoying when primers stick to the pin, so whatever cures it for you, I get it.
I hate to be "that blue KoolAid guy",
I'm also a blue koolaid guy but I have this problem on my 650 using Dillon, Redding, RCBS and Widden dies with Federal and CCI primers. There's got to be a reason for it
