I'm not a fan of those hand primers. I've seen the RCBS hand primer do alright with pistol but not as good as I would like to see with rifle.
My buddy has a Lee that should be thrown in the trash.
What press do you have? I'd do a couple primer seat tests on the press itself. I bet you get better results.
