Well, I might have quit using certain brands before you did.

The only primer pockets I've had real problems with in recent memory were some .308s that were unexpectedly crimped-in--and one early batch of .17 Hornady factory-ammo brass that had the "short" pockets. (Have yet to understand where they got the "short" primers to put in them.)

But long ago solved my problems with crimped-in primers by power-chamfering the edges slightly, rather than trying to swage them.

What problems have you had?
