I'll throw a monkey wrench into the works. I've been using a Hornady auto prim, and like it real well. Had a RCBS, just didt'n like the way it felt, the lid came off and about 75 primers were on the carpet. Happened twice in 2 days, so sold it.
Bought the Hornady, comes with the adaptors, so you can use anybody's regular shell holder, and been happy ever since.(probably about 20,000 primers so far!!) Gypsyman

I had been using Lee autoprimes, but two of them broke on me, and then I bought another new one and it didn't work. Switched to RCBS and I like it a lot. The only thing I wish was different is that it takes a bit of time to replace the shell holders. Their latest ads show that they fixed that problem in the newest model.

I've spent 1.5 times as much on Lee autoprimes as I have on the one RCBS tool that will probably last me forever.  In general I've found Lee equipment to be the least economical of all because I always end up having to replace it. That's why I quit using it.

I do not recommend Lee products because of their poor performance for me. The experience has been all bad, without exception.

Love my Lee Auto Primes, have 2, one each set up for large and small primers. I love all of my Lee products, just bought a Lee Classic Turret press, works great too!! ;) IMO, those that have problems and break their Auto Primes are either heavy handed or never read the instructions that came with em, or both, there are too may of us that have never had a problem to believe otherwise. ::)

If you get the Lee, make sure to lube the linkage. Just a dab will do wonders. ;)

I bought the Lee Saftety prime and let the turret do the priming for me. Took me a bit to get in on right last night, but seems to work ok.
