I've been happy with my Lee auto prime. Only thing was I didn't know about the different shell holders until after I got it from Midway. Had to wait for the next online order to get a set of those so I could use it. Been serving me well since, actually I might get a second so I can have one for small and one for large.

I used to use the Sinclair tool until the artrithis in my thumb joint caused too much pain, had a RCBS hand-held priming tool-well engineered with the exeption of the priming rod guide, cheap plastic.
My experiences with Hornady ended after working with their dies with the new way of fastening the sizer-ball/decapping unit-I still have them,do not hate anybody that much to give them away as a present.
Now I use a RCBS bench mounted tool with the feeder tubes, and this tool is just perfect for the job;Well made,simple and precise, and surprisingly sensitive in seating.
A 100 .222Rem cases are primed in not much longer than 20 minutes.
Regards,
Paul T.

One thing I like about all the priming tools is their price..... Lee's must be a cheap tool.... only about $13 ((( :D )))
As for RCBS vastly improving the Lee (hand primer) auto-prime...well, maybe they did. And they're making a fortune off of it IF they're selling very many. At least three times the cost of the Lee. WHy does everyone make comparable equipment to Lee (and sometimes not so comparable), then multiply by three to get their MSRP???
"Look, if you sell it for what it's worth, people will think it's junk. Bump it up another ramspec. People aren;t dumb.... they'll think, at that price, it's got to be good!!!"

I have a RCBS and a Lee Hand primer. The RCBS i believe has less hand "pressure" required then the Lee. However the piece that you change in the handprimer for large or small primers. Well its a joke. horrid cheap plastic, in fact mine is broke at this time. The Lee however, and i dont care for many of there products short of the dies and handprimer, is quite sturdy and reliable. The metal piece that goes thru the body of the RCBS "body" as well i find very flimsy. So all in all i would say that the Lee is the better of the two by far. The Shell Holders for the Lee were no problem i bought the assortmant set i guess youd call it from midway and it covers pretty much anything. What it doesnt i just use the press primer which is few calibers. Last edited on Sat Oct 31st, 2009 06:37 AM by
