If you are getting between .003-.005 crush on primer this should not be happening.
Scott, his primer pocket must have shrank during the heat treating process, which they sometimes do. With the BP out of the rifle and on his desk, if he inserts a FED 209A - presses it down tight with his thumb - he has to use a pair of pliers to get the primer back out of the pocket. With a W209 repeating the same steps, it will fall out IF he taps the BP on the top.
I believe he has a replacement BP on the way.
