Large pistol primer not flush?
Quote from Reloader on December 19, 2008, 4:03 pmBe sure you are pushing the hanlde forward at the end of the upstroke, and that the cases you are priming don't have crimped-in primers. If yes, then the crimp must be removed before new primers can be seated.

I also use a Miwall case roller as sometimes the rim is slightly bent and will cause the case to canter in the shell holder and the primer won't line up correctly with the primer pocket on the case. The case roller is costly but worth it if you shoot a lot. I suggest you place all your brass on a flat surface like a table top before loading and check if the rims are flush with the surface and don't wobble. By doing this you will be certain that the case is setting true while in the case holder.
