Got a Problem
 
I am reloading .223 Brass, and using a Lee Auto Prime to prime the brass, I can't hardly get some the brass out of the shellholder after priming.

BHA Match and Winchester Brass
1. Cases have been reloaded about 4 times
2. It makes no difference whether I full size or not.
3. "New brass goes in and out freely. Will rotate freely."
4. Some measure over .002" difference at the rim between the high and low spots. "The Case is not out of round"
5. The Brass is definately distorted, I dont know if it is caused by using too much force seating the primer, or not, I am probably causing the distortion myself.

The first thing that comes to mind is the primer isn`t being seated fully and is hanging up when you try to remove the case. I would think you`d crush the primer before distorting a case head by priming.
:confused:

Primers Fully seated.....
I am convinced the rims were distorted by over exertion by me using the Auto Primer, I just installed a mechanical stop behind the lever and it works perfect. It will only allow the primer to seat and no excessive force can be applied to the rim.
Thanks for your input...
