Contacted Dillon, the shape and dent of the punch impression is not normal. Normally debris between the primer and punch will leave distinct marks, while your picture seems to indicate the punch is actual soft or deformed. The anvil inside the primer has to be able to smash (best word I could think of) correctly to set off the compound. It looks like the punch is forming the primer surface around the anvil point.
I will call them tomorrow. I agree. The face of the primer looks deformed. Something is off with the primer operation. Thx.

Just because you have a new gun does not eliminate it as the problem. Try some other ammo. preferably not reloads.
now the question I always ask (your primers are fine)
wait for it
Do you wet clean your brass?
Yes I wet clean my brass. I do dry it well though.

I've crushed them much worse than that and they all went bang. Check your firing pin and make sure there are no burrs on it or the hole in the breech face, slowing down the pin, and check for wear on the firing pin (measure it and compare to a new one).
It is a brand new Shadow 2 that just came from Cajun Gun Works.

I believe, this recession in the middle of the primer, damaged its core material.

The center of the primer is dented inwards. That renders all rounds disfunctional.

Thank you guys for your input. Here are some pics to better explain the problem. All these rounds mostly won’t function.

The primer pusher on my RL 550C leaves a shallow dents on small pistol federal primers. Usually I will have one or two maximum light strikes while shooting, but today, I was getting so many light strikes that I quit the USPSA match.
I usually clean the primer seating cup. After careful inspection, I noticed most primers were concave.
Did anyone experience this before? How to fix it?

Yes, Dillon Tech replaced the primer seating device and also helped me adjust the shell plate. It seats the primer properly now. Thanks for following up.
