    Looks like your seating die is set too low. I run mine by hand down to a trimmed and ready case, then 1 full turn back. On occasions I have run it 2 turns back for loads for other shooters or long...

    I'll share similar sentiment to the above comment. When primers go from $80 per 1k to $300 per 1k in the space of 9 months. When there are very few shipments on the horizon, when it's $20...
