Primer tools. Part Duex

[TheOtherZilla]

As long as it's a hit, it's close enough.

In reality though how many of those tools are in use still? Id be willing to bet you couldnt sell 10 shellholders if you advertised them hard for 5yrs. Not many of those tools in actual use still.

Probably right. That's why I'm a reloader, not an entrepreneur. Still, I've never found an autofeed mechanism worth having, whether in the Lee tool or mounted on the press. I just get my sized brass out, a tray of primers, cue up "The Ghost and the Darkness" or "The Thirteenth Warrior" in the DVD player and prime from my easy chair. One at a time and knock out a couple hundred an hour.

I’ve been using the Lee round tray models for many years, and they work fine. Do any of you think the higher priced “Precision “ models do a noticeably better job, and can the difference be realized at the target?

Yes and yes. Its night and day being able to feel the primer touch the bottom and do it effortlessly not to mention the difference in one primer going off in your face rather than 75

Which Lee tool specifically?
It seems that Lee does not test his priming tools much so all of the current priming tools tend to fit your description.

However I am still using the very first LEE priming tool after about 50 years. For $1.75 the Lee tool with the screw in shell holders was a mostly successful tool. The rest have not been very good.

I have one of those and love it. 50 years old...dang...where did the time go?
