Of course if you get a batch of primers that are in excess of 0.120" , then you will have your problem of not seating flush.
Again I have never had this problem but!
Perhaps even on new brass, it might be a good idea to try a different pocket cleaner on a few cases to entirely clean the surfaces and try some primers in the cases again.
