I think what his situation is that while seating a primer using a hand primer like the Lee auto prime, the primer didn't go in far enough and thus he can not remove it from the shell holder. Been there, done that. I'm hesitant to just squeeze the handle harder because as we all know those handles will break and you can't buy replacements any more. Unfortunetly more pressure is what is needed. I bought the Lee ergo model and don't really like it but in this situation it works very well because the different grip allows you to exert more pressure, slowly and carefully. Usually happens to me with Wolf large pistol primers, they do have a reputation for being a little hard to seat and with a shell that has a tight primer pocket it happens. If you can't squeeze it any harder then the idea of removing the primer punch from the die and trying it by hand will probably work, just proceed very cautiously with all safety measures in place.
