Why jump in and offer advice that Federal military cases are crimped, and you need to cut away the crimp?
He's also tried re-cleaning the primer sockets i.e. done it a second time, or more. Presumably, if the tool he is using is correct, and it fits into the sockets, the crimp is no longer there?

Lee makes an on the press primer tool with both small and large rifle primer cups, 100% reliable and cheap enough to buy two and have one set up for each primer size.

I only used a cleaning tool initially (that said there is still visible carbon in the pockets) and tried both the hand priming tool and the press mounted priming cups/arms. I used the chamfering tool on the primer pockets and it solved the issue. I might pick up a primer pocket uniformer but the chamfering seemed to work well.
Cheers Will.
