Usually, a second strike will tell you if that is the problem. If that is not it, I would look at contamination. Are you lubing your cases? With what? Do you let them dry? Try a batch with no case lube at all, at least if making handgun loads. Do you clean your press? How, and with what? Oil, and especially penetrating oil or solvent will kill primers permanently. Clean the press with alcohol, then blow it with compressed air (you can buy cans at computer stores). You'll get there.
I do not lube any handgun cases. I clean my press once a month. I remove the ram rod and spray clean with brake part cleaner then put a light film of gun oil on it and reassemble. I take the head off and clean and lube.
