Primer seating

by Catoosa, Thursday, November 15, 2012, 21:36 (4393 days ago) @ lee jurras

I still do my priming on a press. BUT I have a set of ancient Lyman concave priming punches which contact only the outside circumference of modern flat-cup primers. They give wonderful feel and just enough stress between anvil and cup with no danger of crushing the pellet. In 35 years of reloading, I've never primed with anything else and never crushed a pellet. I can remember having one primer that wasn't fully seated and didn't fire - brain fade on my part, more'n likely.
