In fact, you can spend a lot of cash on xxxx priming systems and the only thing you have done is thrown money away. So, I spent a lot of time on Youtube looking at various priming systems. Believe me, there are some good solutions out there and some want your first born child for one. When I viewed several videos of your auto priming system, I was intrigued. Its a simple idea that makes use of gravity and leverage. It is bench mounted for stability and includes a primer tray making handling easy. Operation is smooth and quick. I had no problem priming my first 100.223 cases in less than 5 minutes. Occasionally the primers would hang up in the chute, but a couple of taps while grabbing the next case takes care of that. I will take that over loosing 20 or more primers on the floor from a lousy xxxx spring hangup. AND I must say the price is right. Thanks for a great product. I will be looking to Lee first when I purchase more reloading tools. Your team did a great job.

SteveExcept for Lee's warning, I have personally never read of anyone having a problem using Federal primers in a Lee tool. Interestingly enough, RCBS does not advise against the use of Federal Primers in their hand priming tool. Then again, I don't believe a lot of what anyone associated with Lee professes. Mr. Lee's Reloading Manual is the most self-glorifying book I have ever read. After reading it, I had to come to terms with my own stupidity for buying products from Redding, RCBS, Forster, etc. I do not usually use Federal primers, but I have used them many times in an Autoprime with absolutely no catastrophic results. I've also (slowly and carefully) deprimed live primers with a sizing die and never had one go off, and how many times has you read that doing so is unsafe. Incidentally, I have been reloading since the mid-70s and I still have all of my fingers, my eyesight, and my hearing.Federals are more likely to be set off and if they're in a tube it'll blow the whole column. BTW I use CCI because when I started that's what Alliant recommended for their Unique powder. I've since bought a ton at a gun show for a good price.Very often, warnings on consumer packaging are related to one of two things: The government required it. Someone's lawyer made a claim. So, whether the warning is useful or not, it now gets printed on every package or instruction manual so manufacturers can cover both cheeks with both hands, yet still produce the product. And I don't blame them.T'was my bad, because I didn't bother to look before seating a sideways-positioned primer.CCI are, by reputation, one of the least sensitive. For this reason, I use Federal primers for my handgun loads (where I need 100 hit reliability even with soft hammer springs) and CCI primers for my rifles (where many of my rifles have floating firing pins). I have seen Dillon presses that had a Fed primer go off and make a mess of the primer tube. But I have put, literally, tens and tens of thousands of Federal primers thru my Lee hand primer with ZERO issue. Never had one go off. Had a few get stuck sideways in the primer pocket due to my inattention and despite being crushed sideways, they did not pop. Ever. Never. Ever. Had. An. Issue. Ever.I used the Lee auto-prime and Federal Primers! Ok. the first ten I fed in one at a time but I soon became bold and loaded 5 in the tray. No mishaps, I think its going to be OK. Federal primers, on the other hand, are made with the formula known as “basic”. Basic is the most sensitive. Studies have shown both formulas have about the same amount of “power”, however, basic requires much less kinetic energy for the primer to go off Click to expand. Winchester sm. pistol 100 Winchester sm.I use a Lee Auto Prime II and have not had a primer go off on me in 22 years of reloading. And that's how old this Auto Prime II is.I just pour them in, shake'em and place the tray and shute on the priming die and go for it. And as far as tumbling my cases I also have a 22 year old Lyman Turbo 1200 tumbler too.I like shinny cases. I guess it really doesn't matter. People don't know how their automobiles work, but most of them learn to drive safely anyway. If reloaders learn the craft safely, it doesn't matter if we don't fully understand all of it. A little knowledge surely would help, though. Good post, friend.That was a Winchester LR that popped because I missed a crimped pocket and thought I'd be able to shove it in anyway. It jumped the crimp and slammed home with enough impact to go off. It was louder than I expected and the flame from the case mouth was impressive. I think the warning is there due to fear of sympathetic detonation of the rest of the primers in the tray. The Federal primers I've bought were packed with a lot more separation than the Winchester, Remington, ot CCI primers I've had so maybe there's something to that. When I have used my Autoprime with Federals I would start the primer and then turn it over so the rest would fall further away when I pressed it home.Never a problem, with any primer. I suspect some do tho, especially those who believe that if something doesn't go easy the right response is more pressure. (They are the ones who break Lee alum alloy presses!) Not sure why Lee cautions against Fed.s but heard someone had a law suit against Fed and Fed blamed Lee's primer tool. Hornady has copied Lee's method of holding a decap rod centered. And ALL of the others have sure maintained a much lower price point than they would have without Lee's competion. Lee simply makes good tools, no matter the price, IF you gage a tool by the quality of the ammo it produces. I do. No one has ever tried to show me any superior targets because they were shot by ammo made with their favorite tools instead of Lee tools. Surface fluff, like shiney finishes, really neet knurling, yeah. But, better ammo? No.And will be upgrading the old turret with a Lee Classic Cast Turret here soon. I have no problem getting accurate ammunition from these Lee presses and highly recommend them. Not that the other manufacturers aren't as good or maybe better, but.Lee is still hard to beat.This is the 1st time I've heard that LEE doesnt want you to use Fed primers. I've put 10,000 through mine with no isssues. Ol Joe, thanx for the info, I too always thought the only dif between brands was amount of priming compound and the hardness of the cup.If registering, leave this blank: Neither The High Road nor any of its directors, members, managers, employees, agents, vendors, or suppliers will be liable for any direct, indirect, general, bodily injury, compensatory, special, punitive, consequential, or incidental damages including, without limitation, lost profits or revenues, costs of replacement goods, loss or damage to data arising out of the use or inability to use this forum or any services associated with this forum, or damages from the use of or reliance on the information present on this forum, even if you have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

If I remember well Mr Lee explain he is using only CCI and another brand (winchester?, not shure) because he feels they are not likely to explode while seating. At least this is what I remeber I read on first Ed. They sell a blast shield for one of them. Lee simply reprints the data. They did not develop it. Use what you have on hand. Regarding the Lee book, buy and use the Lyman Reloading Handbook 49th Edition. They sell a blast shield for one of them. Use what you have on hand. All of this true. The do not use primer thing could also pertain to their hand held priming tools also. I really don't know what the OP means anyway. You can use any suitable primer brand or type of correct size primer with any published start load. Yes, you need to use some common sense. If you are loading a high capacity or magnum cartridge it's probably a good idea to use a magnum primer. But to think that you have to use a WLR because that is what they used and not your CCI-200 is just ludicrous. Could there be a difference, sure there could, but it won't have anything to do with safety. Plus there is no way in he11 that using their data in your gun is going to duplicate thier results. To assume that is ludicrous too. BTW: There is a decent amount of useful information in Lee's manual, the load data is surly not it's strong point. To put it nicely, it sucks. Motor So they are good enaught for me. At least this is what I remeber I read on first Ed. He recommended Winchester and CCI with his priming tools. Of course ram prime and XR hand primer tool you could use any primer you wanted. I take Richard's statements with a grain of salt. When the next primer shortage comes up, I guess it won't matter. I like all primers. take care, r1kk1. Lee gathers data from several different sources; powder mfgs., bullet mfgs. etc., and reprints it. Not bad in theory, but in practice much is left out. I read a while back that Richard Lee got into an argument with Federal reps over some recommendations about primers in Lee equipment.I wonder what their issue was with Remington primers. I really don't think Federal's sales were hurt by Lee. I'm still have supply issues with GM primers. I can score them at matches but hardly ever at LGS. It was Richard's statement about what primers to use that drove me away from his priming tools. To me, it would be akin to a die company telling me don't use Speer or Hornady bullets in their seating dies but use Nosler or Sierra instead. I did notice when the XR prime was released, it could use whatever primer you wanted. A little late. Take care r1kk1. All rights reserved.

You will be the one deciding on how much to spend on every item required for reloading. Well, we unveiled 4 of the best hand priming tools for reloading on the market for you. But you obviously won’t know which hand primer to purchase based on wordy reviews only. Therefore, we also attached a buyer’s guide, so you know what to look in a hand primer to live up to your needs. For example; if you decide to buy pre-primed shells, you may spend a lot more money than necessary. Used shells can be re-primed many times, more so, it is much cheaper. Plus, it is not rocket science. One of the easiest ways to prime a shell could be using a hand priming tool. If you are planning to prime each case by yourself, you better get the perfect one for you. But this can be difficult since there are many different models out there. Once you set the dial where you want, you just have to squeeze on the handle without any possibilities of ruining the primer, since it will hard stop when it reaches the depth set on the dial. This priming unit comprises 12 shell holders for the 12 most popular calibers. These holders can be stored in the storage case with the priming tool for easier access to them. This case is great since it is made from durable materials to ensure your tool and the holders are always protected. The priming tool frame is made from die cast zinc, while the internal components are made from steel. The die-cast zinc frame will not bend, even if you apply a great force to it when priming a case. The primer supply tray can hold up to a hundred primers at the same time. It works perfectly with both small and large primers. Furthermore, it is easy to change between them thanks to the thumb release. Also, the primer tray has ridges on the inside, so the primers are always facing the right direction. Other from the occasional primer going the wrong way, customers have not experienced any big problems with this priming unit. It is reliable, durable, and you can get work done fast. But all of these features come with a price. It is the most expensive model on this review, but it is worth every penny. You don’t have to squeeze the priming tool until it feels right thanks to the dial. And because of this, every single primer will be at the same depth in every case. Herein, you only have to modify the unit when working with small or big primers. The universal shell holder has opposing jaws that allow the case to be perfectly aligned with the primer. Because of this, you are less prone to errors when seating the primers on the cases. Plus, the ergonomic handle is comfortable even after priming a few hundred rounds. It is designed to be safe. The tray can securely hold several primers at a time, and this is a great feature if you are looking to reload several cases at a time. The removable tray correctly sets primers of most manufacturers. You just need to be careful when snapping the tray over on, since most primers will bounce turning them the wrong direction. This is an important safety measure since you can be sure that no primer is going to detonate by accident. A downside of this product may be the fact that the process may be slower since you have to remove every cartridge by hand once it is primed. Other models simply let go of the case for an easier reload. After priming, the universal shell holder may tighten the grip, making the removal process slower. Although it might share some features with the previous model, there are many unique features in this unit. There are no shell holders included in this model, but don’t worry. You can easily reuse all your shell holders since this priming tool uses the same shell holders as many RCBS reloading presses. If you are not working with an RCBS press, you have to buy each shell holder separately. It is mostly made of cast metal, a common but durable material. Because of this, you can be sure that the priming unit will work perfectly even after years of using it. It seems fairly easy to use, and it comes with a manual with instructions on how to properly use it, but you may destroy a few primers either way. There is a certain method you have to use to reduce the possibility of ruining a lot of primers that are not written in the manual. Although the tool may work perfectly with 100 rounds, your hand will begin to cramp (even if you followed every step on the manual). You should take your time with this model to make sure that the case is primed correctly. Each customer found a different way to manage this unit, you just need to find yours. You must be patient as you may possibly destroy several primers on the way. It is easy to fasten the tool down on your workbench. It takes just a few minutes of your time to put together and it won’t take much effort since the whole unit is not that heavy. It already comes with all the nuts and bolts required to mount it on your workbench. There are no shell holders included with this unit, but it will work perfectly with all Lee shell holders. It is simple to use, and once it is mounted and lubricated you can begin priming within seconds. You just need to choose the right assembly, slide the shell holder in place, set the primer on the holder, and move the handle until the primer is set. The primer tray can be set in 3 different positions, open, locked, and feed. The open position lets you load the tray with new primers. The hocked position sets the tray on the primer but won’t allow any primers to go into the holder (Basically this is how you store it). And the feed position allows a single primer into the holder, isolating it from the rest of the supply. You will need to get used to the primer tray. When you try to shake the whole tray to get the primers in the position you will feel how it forces your hand to get in the folded position. It is an acquired taste since you will probably find this annoying when you start using it. Also, the pockets in which the shell holders go is not tight on the holder. This means that the shell holder may fall occasionally. You should make sure you get a priming tool with these included, or you will have to buy each of them separately. It is no big deal since these are not expensive, but it may be difficult to find some specific sizes. If you are not a fan of this, you can also look for a priming unit with a universal shell holder. You won’t have to buy any additional shell holders, but the process can be a bit slower. Usually, when you are hand priming a case with a specific shell holder, you can work with a tray or bucket under the primer, so you just have to set the cartridge on the primer, squeeze, release the handle and watch the primed case fall onto the bucket. But with a universal shell holder, you cannot do this since you get to remove each case by hand each time you prime it. Will My Hand Hurt after a Few Hundred Cases. If you like to practice on a shooting range with your rounds, you may be priming hundreds of cases at a time. Because of this, you would like a comfortable and fast primer. The best hand primers come with an ergonomic handle. You will surely be priming at least a few hundred cases at the time, and your hand will surely cramp up after a while. An ergonomic handle helps you to get a better grip on the tool, reducing the possibility of getting cramps or getting tired because of repeated action. Also, an ergonomic handle can be useful for more precise priming. Most models do not have a predetermined seating depth, so you will have to feel how deep you want the primer to be set. The better the handle, the more sensitive will it be. This means that you will have less crushed primers to deal with. Safety Measures in the Primer This may be one of the most important aspects of a hand primer. A single detonated primer can lead to a chain reaction where all the primers o the supply will detonate as well. Most hand primers nowadays come with a safety gate to separate the primer that is being primed of the rest of the unused primers. You are working with deadly gunpowder. This means that a mistake where you accidentally detonate a single round on a hand primer can cause severe damage. Hand primers are supposed to work specifically as you need them to, but you have to make sure everything is in place and safely secured when using the primer. Because of the continuous danger you are in when priming, here are a few safety precautions you want to tan into account when working with hand primers. Hearing protection: Detonated primers can make a deafening sound, so you should make sure you have the appropriate hearing protection Eye protection: You should always have your eyes protected since a minor error can make primer pieces to blow out of the hand priming tool. Proper primer storage: Every primer should be inside their original package when you are not using them. Also, make sure your store this package in a dry place away from any heat sources. Let’s Answer Some Frequently Asked Questions Can I use any shell holder on my hand priming tool. No, if the primers do not have a universal shell holder, you will have to get the shell holders specific to the brand of the tool. Is there any difference between mounted hand primers and portable hand primers. Overall both tools get the job done. It mostly depends on your comfortability. If you want to be able to prime cases everywhere, the portable hand primer is a safe bet (obviously). On the other hand, mounted hand primers provide increased stability, apart from the fact that the hand primer toll will be right beside your reloading press. How do I make sure that I don’t crush any primers. There are certain models in which you can set the desired seating depth. It means that you will never crush a primer again. If by any chance you have a hand primer in which you cannot set any seating depth you will have to feel for yourself. Once you feel the primer set you will have to release. Because of this, many primers will surely be at a different depth than others. Can I use the same shell holder I use on my reloading press. If the press is the same brand as the hand primer you should be able to use the same shell holder. Finally, Our Recommendation Sometimes paying a little bit more for greater quality is a good decision, especially when purchasing something you plan to use for a long time. However, we believe that the Frankford Arsenal Perfect Seating Tool is the best hand priming unit here. There is no way you crush the primers, and thanks to the configurable dial that you can set to desired seating depths. This means that each primer on each case will be set at the same depth as all the other primers. There are 12 shell holders included, one for each one of the most popular cartridge sizes. Also, you can easily store all these holders and the priming tool inside the storage case that is already included when you purchase this model. The die-cast zinc handle may not be as comfortable, but it is designed to withstand a great force. Also, it comes with a safety gate to isolate the primer. It will be loaded on the cartridge from the primers (on the tray) to reduce the possibility of tray detonation. We believe that even if the price is a bit too high, it is worth it. This model stands perfect for anyone since it is not at all complicated to use. If you decide to get a hold of this model, you won’t regret your decision. It will be money well spent.
