That's not a real problem, you could pass it on to farmerjim when finished and it would eventually work its way back.
I actually feel that S&B pockets have a slight taper which leads to the high primer and I wonder about the recipe for their brass. It seem hard. My experience was that to get a uniform pocket, I really had to put a lot of effort into it and it took a lot of cutting at the end. I had to keep pulling the tool out and reapplying it. The tough work was hard on my hands and the cases slipped a lot on the Lee shell holders.
I've never bought the S&B brass or primers, but at one point I was buying different styles of range brass. I had a lot of 32 Auto, 380 Auto, and 9mm Luger brass. Just the fact that it was short, made the uniforming tough so I ended up tossing it all because this was heading to the Load-Masters and I just had too much of a problem with it stopping the flow when they came around to be ejected from the shellholder.
I also ended up with a bunch of 7.62x39 brass, damned if it didn't have small primer pockets. Remington does too and I tossed it all.
I sure would do something about a raised primer fit. Please look at the note on the bottom of the SAAMI spec.
If either of you needs the tools, large pistol or rifle or small, I will send them to you. You would have them in two days.
