Primer seated a little bit too deep
Quote from Reloader on December 11, 2012, 6:01 pmI am using Federal 100 small pistol primers for 9mm reloading with assort brass picked up from the range. The primer seated by my RL550B on a 9mm case seems a bit too deep and the center of the primer looks concave a little. Is there anything I can do to adjust the primer seating? I am new to Dillon and reloading in general. Thanks.
