Frakenmauser - The original large rifle plug in my RCBS Hand Primer was off center. So I stuck the little installation wrench over the plug and tried to nudge it in the opposite direction in hopes of bending it straight - SNAP - I busted it off. I took it apart and luckily was able to remove the broken off threaded section. All I had left was the small primer plunger so I installed that one and it was still off center. It stayed off centered so I only primed 20 cases. I rotated them several times each to ensure the primers were seated evenly and deep enough.
I called RCBS and they're sending me a new large plunger. In the mean time since my original thread, I disassembled the hand primer to check to see if the primer rod was out of round but it was perfect. But when I reassembled the unit, everything wound up in perfect alignment and the small plug is dead center of the opening now - go figure. I just hope it stays that way when I install my new large plug.
