PRIMER SEATING
Quote from Reloader on May 14, 2017, 10:37 pmProvide more information to the problem you are having.
If you are not getting a full seating of the primer, then check the shell plate to make sure it is not too lose. Or make sure the primer seater assembly is fully screwed in and slightly tight. Check that the primer seating post if extending fully above the bottom of the shell plate. I have seen issues where enough dirt/dust particles have gotten below the post and prevents a full extension. Lots of pressurized air to blow out the dust to clean.
I have yet to see a case where a primer is seated to far if smooth pressure is used to seat the primer.
In short I know of no way to adjust the primer seating other than proper setting of the shell plate and keeping the seating assembly clean.

What caliber, and case headstamp are you having problems with?

It is easily solved with a couple different methods. Reaming or swaging. Dillon has a swaging tool I have never used. Many people swear by it.
