I'm getting my new lnl AP set up and got it running like a scalded dog. One small issue is I get the occasional primer that doesn't seat well. It seems like if it doesn't seat right on the first stroke it isn't going to after that unless I pull it out and seat on my rock chucker.

Seems like about 80% of the ones that screw up are winchester cases though. A lot have a ring around the pocket like they're crimped primers but is that possible with a winchester case?
