a new problem for me

I have been handloading for about 40 years. I have some once fired S&B 3006 cases that I am trying to load for my M1 Garand which may be sensative to high primers and slam fires. I use an RCBS dedicated priming tool. I have been unable to seat the primers deep enough. Upon examination, I discover the depth of the S&B primer pockets varries between .20 & .24 The CCI 200 primer measures .25 so it is obvious why I can't get them to seat properly. This is the first time I have attempted to reload S&B cases. Winchester cases have a primer pocket depth of .30 on average. Have any of you run into this? Is there a brand of large rifle primers that may be less than .25 deep? I have about 200 of the S&B cases, trimmed, chamfered, polished, primer pockets cleaned, ready to go and I can't get the darn primers in.
Thanks for your help. Paul in Arizona
