ok I just swaged 220 lake city brass all 02 dated out of the 220 39 pieces the new primer would NOT seat is this normal? to have this many not good?

also i have to use considerable force to get the swaged case to "eject" from the swage plate is that ok?

how far into the primer hole should i be swageing?
 
I didn't have that many failures, but I did have some. Luck of the draw, maybe. I know I tried using the RCBS deburring tool and the pocket swager. The cutting and swaging seemed to work on a few of the stubborn ones. Others were hopless and were tossed.

Mine required some oomph to pop them off the plate as well. Sounds normal.

1. It does happen.

2. Yes - you're are forcing a larger piece of metal into a smaller hole.

3. To the bottom.
