Blackfly is correct. The tool that you have is for pressing large pistol primers into brass cases like the current Magtech/CBC hulls. If used to seat 209 primers, the smallish pin on the tool pushes the primer part further into its battery cup as the whole thing is seated and you will not get reliable (or any) ignition when loaded into a gun as the primer may be too far from the firing pin to get a reliable hit.
The solution is effective but very slow - maybe you can improve upon it. I take a dime and place it between the pin of the tool and the 209 primer. The dime covers the primer and pushes it in undamaged.
