    I primed 300, 9mms tonight with the Lee bench mounted primer. I only had a couple stoppages and only seated one sideways and that could have been avoided. In fact it was the only one that was not properly aligned and I missed it.

    I think I'm going to get to like this thing.

    Compared to the hand held tools it's nearly effortless and believe it or not the feel or feedback is excellent. The one I seated sideways tonight I knew was sideways because I felt it. But of course it was already too late.

    Yeah I think this thing is going to be seeing a lot of action.

    Cruise Amazon and check into the RCBS rebate. I got mine for less than $70 delivered.

    I primed about 100 45 ACP cases yesterday, and was thinking how I'd explain the process to someone. I don't miss seating a primer because the primer is clearly visible resting on the plunger before I insert a case. If it ain't there (which happens but rarely) I just lower the handle halfway and another primer drops into place. Sometimes the primers won't slide down in the tray, so I've developed a "style" and bump the handle on it's upward limit, it doesn't take much, just a light tap. Other than that everything else is straight forward. BTW I dumped 100 primers in the tray, and primed 100 cases non stop...

    You can also use the primer trays from the Lee press priming tool or the RCBS hand priming tool the one that uses press shell holders.

    I find these trays a lot easier to work with than the folding one that comes with the tool. I put 200 small pistol primers in one tray.

    To load the tray into the tool just use a small flat blade screw driver to block the exit then slip it out after the tray is inserted. Works like a charm.

    There's no need to get rid of anything it's just another option in the tool box and a decent one for the cost.
