The primers are probably bouncing of the base of the bowl. Cut a piece of light cardboard (cereal box) into a half pie shape and staple/tape to the bowls rear rim. Should solve the problem.
I use an old Midway 1292 with no cover. I run it outdoors next to my reloading shop. The slightest breeze carries off most of the dust.
If you run yours indoors you definitely want the solid top. You'd be amazed how much dust accumulates on everything running an open (or slotted) cover.
Load 'em up and choot 'em. Your paper/steel target doesn't care about the Schmuttz on the bullets. Skip the alox on the next batch. Coated bullets slide right through a Lee sizing die without the need for any kind of lube.
If you get the itch to shoot the 45 and 10mm they do make brass that uses small pistol primers.
I haven't tried them yet, but I've heard the difference in 45 is negligible. Haven't heard any reports on 10mm using small pistol primers.
Lee now makes the Collet-Style Crimp die which is like the rifle crimp dies. They have no carbide ring. I cast bullets for my 38/357 and don't have the collet die yet, but I'm considering one to test the difference.

Midway link, I'm sure...
Not a death sentence, check this site out. I don't have one, but I will if I ever drop one of my Uni Flows and break the hopper.

Fill that unit up with enough water to cover the brass and pins. If you don't you'll have pins flying everywhere. I use one of these:

Add water to cover the brass, install the cover and give it a spin. Pins completely separate in about 30...
I've never had new nickle plated cases. I've found that dry tumbling (used cases) in walnut media with nufinish nickle plated handgun cases slide through a carbide die easier than brass cases.
Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I just realized I could use them in my Henry single shot as they wouldn't need a crimp. I've been setting the Hornady cases aside when I find them at the range.
We all know where we stand on our supply of ammo and reloading components. We also know that prices will not be going down. Either stock up or don't. Complaining and speculating won't change a thing.
