As clear and concise as that article is, the seating of small arms ammunition primers is covered in most every reloading book in easy to understand language.

Yep.

Perhaps in a tightly controlled environment, with precise machinery that's OK. But I'm a handloader, that uses hand tools, so I just seat all my primers firmly against the bottom of the primer pocket.

When I first started reloading, I tried various ways to make sure I was seating my primers .002 to .006 based on what I found on the Internet. I hand prime, and after about 50 primers, I gave up the measuring and began looking for some other way to do things. Got the Lee and Lyman reloading manuals. Lee said something about seating until you get to a good, full stop, but not gorilla-grip stop. Lyman suggested hand seating twice, seat once then turn the case 180 degrees and seat again to ensure the primer is seated level. Been doing it way ever since without a single bad primer.
