they run .010-.012 below the base of the case. I've never seen primers sit this deeply in a case. Starline brass with the 'R' designation. How odd.

Its just one of many oddities with 500 sw, I use CBC & Hornady brass, same problem. LR primers in a LR pocket, they seat too deep. Two strikes to fire means they sat too deep for pin to reliably fire first time around. Brand doesn't seem to make a difference, used Federal, Remington, CCI, Winchester. Nor does LR vs LR-Mag.
I bet if you measured the depth of the LR primer pocket you'll find they're out of spec or something.
As for recoil, I've always found my revolver's bark far worse than its bite. It probably means the compensator really works!
