My reloader sets the primer just barely below flush. If you are placing them too deep, maybe your firing pin is not capable of traveling far enough to set it off????

FWIW, I use only Federal primers for my IDPA competition reloading as they are known to be the easiest primers to light off. In fact my reloader instructions (Lee Loadmaster) caution me against using them as they can go off more easily when reloading if they encounter a problem when entering the cartridge. (has happened once to me.... definitely glad I had a blast shield and safety glasses)
