PB...I would go for harder/different brand - not undersized primers- being part of the problem.

But if you are now using a proper press after the LEE LOADER...welcome to canny mechanical leverage not sheer brute mass!
It makes a hell of difference!
But I still love my LEE LOADERS for emergencies and 'insurance' loading....and my LEE AUTO PRIME - of course!

If not hot- loaded(are you sure ?-how are you sure?) primer pocket cleaning damage also can contribute to cases wearing out.

Primers are best "bottomed" to 'arm' them, anything less is unreliable IMHO. Marking and crushing is bad, they should look the same on top loaded as they were in the packet/tray.
