Nothing in front of the WIN. I put a 30-06 brass in it and it went flush with the bottom of the die and stuck out the top just tad bit. .308 and 30-30 brass went far inside the die but did not...

My question is, other than the difference in height between LR and LP primers, is there a difference in the priming compound that would account for the differences in Larry Gibsons post?
