Sideways primers

I have just set up my first xl650 and it appears that the shell plate is not quite aligned with the primers. Problem is primers are turning sideways while seating. Any help?

A few things to check.
Make sure the primer seating assembly is tight
Make sure the station 2 locator tab is adjusted properly
Make sure you have the correct size priming disc installed

Make sure that your loading bench is secured also. A bench that shifts and moves can have an adverse effect on priming.
When priming use even strokes of the handle, dont try to go really fast as that can cause primers to jump and turn.

Speed in reloading is not the end all of everything. Quality ammo is the objective, dont get cought up in the ... I can load X amount an hour.
