If you sand too fine the paint will have nothing to grab. I don't go any finer than 220 grit.

Never had a problem......paint sticks to the primer, no problems.

I have a gallon of Bins, I dip my plugs in it and hang
this lets the primer into the holes so the inside is also
primed

I had a lot of failures doing that.

Mind if I ask what kind of failures? The only thing I would worry about with the dip is having too thick of a coat, but I like the thought of primer in the through holes.
