Welcome to BP pistol cartridge shooting!
Doc,
Hope you had a good time! The difference in kick is significant isn't it?
I have had at various times the same issues you had today. I think the other replies addressed the likely reasons and solutions.
I use my progressive press to seat the primers, and just pay careful attention to the pressure that I apply on the down stroke and to how it feels. The comment about cleaning out the primer pocket is spot on. I had a recent spate of primers that were not fully seated because the primer pockets were not cleaned out well enough (laziness), and would bind the gun . I usually just single load them into my lever gun so I don't have to pull the bullet.
I would be interested to hear how many BP rounds you shot and if the gun started to bind up from fouling. I have had that issue and am working on finding a load that is accurate and will shoot all day without binding or excessive fouling. I think I'm getting close and will continue to post my results.
Cheers,
Chowmi
