I’m still using a handful of DI Z 1943 marked cases that were given to me many years ago. They were factory loaded when I received them and sold under the name of Belmont ammunition. Mine had a very heavy primer crimp in place. I recall having to use a considerable amount of force to deprive them. It also took a bit of work back then to remove the crimp in order to re prime the cases. I have a primer swagging die that makes easy work of removing primer crimps these days but had minimal tools back then. I suspect a heavy primer crimp is the cause of your damaged de priming pin.
