Do you uniform your primer pockets? Also the Forster coaxial press is set to seat primer .004 deep..

I burnish the case mouths by spinning them against a small wad of 0000 steel wool, really eases the entry. 
Also, I ease the press handle, never rap it home. And I will turn the case 1/3 turn twice and bottom the seater two more times (total of 3 per bullet). Probably a waste of effort, but I find I get more consistent results this way, which says more about the bullets' consistency than anything I suppose. (I don't sort bullets - I'm a varmint shooter. And I don't use VLD bullets, so the seater stem cup is not an issue.)
