Difficulty Seating SP Primers for the 32-20

[mikld]

I recently purchased some new 32 H&R brass from Starline, both nickel and plain brass. I found the primer pockets on both to be a little (?) tight on both with SA (Argentine) and CCI SP primers. I use a ram prime most of the time and while all could be seated properly it took a bit more force (SA primers a bit harder to seat than CCI, but not enough to matter).

I have come to the conclusion that it is indeed misalignment of the old Lee hand primer tool that is my problem. Several weeks ago I remember dropping it on the concrete floor. I can not see the misalignment, however it is there. I have tried all of the above suggestions along with using it on several different caliber applications. None of them would take the primer, so I went online and ordered a new Lee hand primer. At least I got 25 years of use out of the old one and I don't need any new brass. Thanks for all your comments. You helped me make the decision!

I'm glad to hear you found the problem fairly quickly.
I'm thinking the new primer tool will. Most you .less than brass these days.

Enjoy...
