From the Book:
“To prime a piece of brass, place a clean, sized, and de-primed case in the shell holder and raise the ram about a third of its travel, or enough to have the primer arm, with its cup, freely rotate into position. Remove a primer from its packaging. Clean hands are important, as is a clean working environment; things like case lube can compromise the integrity and operation of a primer if the lube contaminates the priming compound. Place the primer into the “cup” of the priming arm with the primer’s anvil side up and its smooth side down. Rotate the arm so the primer is within the slot in the body of the press ram and then lower the ram until you feel the primer seat to a hard bottom. Do this gently and smoothly to be certain the primer isn’t being crushed. If the primer does not fully seat, refer to the specific instructions for your press and make the needed adjustment. If the primer protrudes so far that the case cannot be removed, it is fine to leave the case in place while the seating depth is adjusted. Once the primer is fully seated, be sure to inspect your work and see that the primer is indeed is flush with the case head.”
