    I think you are just overly sensitive and unfair to the poster. Facts are .311 isn't .308 and Lee balked at correcting it. The wrong size has nothing to do with "knowing how to use hand tools" or...

    Thanks but I'm just interested in how well the REDDING primer accessory works on the T7. I'm fully aware of turret vs progressive...have loaded many rds on both types and none were the cheapo presses.
