21st Century priming tool

I've got the original one with 0.0025 indexing clicks but now I might have to get the the new 0.001" one. :D
 
I bit the bullet and ordered the tray feed 21st century priming tool today. I wore an old RCBS hand unit out last year and went with a Lyman hand tool from a local shop to keep me up and loading. It works well for the most part but on some brands of 308 and 300wm brass it doesn't seat the primers flush, even after rotating the brass and seating 2-3 times. Also, the trays have a rim that holds the shell holder which is made out of the thinnest plastic I have ever seen. Both are broken and just barely hood the shell holder.

I am hoping this unit will fix this issues. I got a shipping email within hours of ordering so hopefully I'll know soon.
 
I don't keep anywhere near enough detailed records to show evidence of.
But I'm confident my groups have improved after swapping to this unit and can feel a slight crush primer seating
 
If I didnt recommend it I am now! I really like mine..its a keeper...got rid of the others. John's primer pocket uniformer is great companion too cause its adjustable.

Fatboy save your packaging and open the lee auto primer feeder with a razor blade..that way you can send it back. thats what I did. plastic POS that works with lee shellholders instead of the nice 21c ones..I can prime plenty fast enough by pickin a primer one by one out of the tray.

Tray feed? I looked at their website and didn't see a tray feed. Got a link?
