I’ve got the .248’s, thanks for checking. The .248x.005 keeps deforming when I try to insert it into the primer pocket in my Knight LeHigh Mountaineer plug.

I had that issue too. I ended up taking a brass punch and sanding it down to just fit in the bp. Then it was pointed out to me that a spent primer works just as well, maybe better, cuz you can end with a shim that conforms to the primer shape possibly sealing better.
