Primer press

Evening all, can any of you recommend a new primer press please , been using a lee for a number of years and don’t particularly want another one
I have the Lee and the Forster but I use The Lee Ram Prime more than the other two. ~Muir
Dauntsey Guns: Hornady, HORN-0500021, Hornady - Handheld Priming Tool, this is the one I bought after snapping the thumb bit off the lee one I had, never had any problems with it.
Me too. I have wasted money on various hand tools. All rubbish compared to this, mainly due to upside down primers needing rework.

Lee ram prime
I bought one, hoping to reduce the stress on a messed up wrist.
TOTAL CR*P. The internal plastic spring broke regularly on mine. They even sell the spare parts for it !
I had several people recommend a Sinclair hand primer, best thing I ever did. It's expensive, especially if you load several different sized cases, but the one piece shell holders are excellent.

This one is quick to change from LRP TO SRP and really quick to use, you can also feel it push home, so if you get a loose pocket you know straightaway.

Those bench mounted devices may be technically very good. But they either lack a reservoir or you have to pick the primers individually into a drop tube. What a drag!
Thus hand held with a tray that you can just dump a pack of 100 primers into.
The Hornady tool is excellent. I‘ve been using it from the start which is 20 years ago. And it‘s still going strong.

I just use the press one supplied with the lee loader keep meaning to try get a feeder for it mind
Had the same problem with the lever part,I've bought a few when they come up cheap on forums or ebay....needing to get a lee ram prime as I have recently bought got some of Kranks primers and they need a bit more pushing in and it becomes hard work doing hundreds with the hand tool.
Not the Lee bench primer - that plastic triangle holds loads, way more that I ever load in one sitting. Only issue is as I and others report is the plastic spring but in 5 years, it’s only happened once and on reflection, I was probably being a little heavy handed. Took the spring out of the small pistol one supplied (a size I don’t use) and quickly back in business. Bought a replacement and it appears to have a modified spring.Those bench mounted devices may be technically very good.

Swap: - Lee auto bench primer
I have two unused LEE auto bench primer holders for small rifle primers and would like to swap for two large rifle primer holders as mine have both broke. one will do if thats all you have. Either end pays P&P
