I just re-seat spent primers myself. I have noticed that the ejector does tend to snag on an empty primer pocket. Just loaded a new bullet profile "dummie round" for my R92 .44 without anything in the primer pocket, and the ejector was snagging the open pocket (even though I reshaped the ejector "wings" for smooth operation). I then seated a spent primer which showed immediate improvement.

Just another Monday morning quarterback, shade tree observation. :D

Excellent point; someone at the club, with a lot more experience than me, mentioned exactly the same thing the other day.
