Insert a brass rod with flat end that fits in the bore, down the barrel and gently tap on the protruding lip until it's seated flush with the recoil shield.
Do this ^ and try it again.

If the fired case can't recoil all the way back and is stopped by the offending burr around the bushing,,the small dia primer will not be and continues rearward and stays there, higher than the case head.
Now you have a primer that is 'high' in the fired case no matter what the loading was in that round when fired.
