Mikiec, I see absolutely no problem with YOU installing the primer without all the bother of pulling the bullet and dumping the powder. I'd suggest that you clamp the shell in a bench vise, primer side up so you can easily get to it. You'll need a milk crate to stand on so you can get your head directly over top so you can see what you're doing. Then take a 3# short handled mallet, of your choice, and a short steel center punch. Be sure to align the punch directly in the center of the primer when you are installing it and give the punch just one good whack with the mallet. You won't have to repeat the procedure if you follow these guidelines. Just WHO was your instructor?

BTW, Linda Brooks sez howdy.
