My Lee Safety Prime works great except for the last 1 or 2 primers. I can sometimes get the second to last primer to feed, but I have never been able to get the last. Has anybody else had this problem?

In addition to the 3 JJE listed, I regularly look at these sites: http://www.the-armory.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/index.html http://www.ammoman.com/webstore_home.htm http://www.cheaperthandirt.com http://www.ammunitionstore.com http://www.jgsales.com/index.php http://www.midwayusa.com...
