Find yourself a old Lee Auto-Prime II, Beats the hell out of just about every other option this side of a progressive! I own both types but the AP-II is set up all the time on a dedicated C-frame.
I can relate to the difference. The poster who had problems with the primer flipping can correct that with a little practice. I was having that happen, every now and then I would feel something funny, and the primer was sideways or up side down. Readjustment of the parts will stop this. If the ram with primer installed is coming in contact with anything on the way up it can give the ram a little flip and that is when the primer flips....adjusting so that the up/down motion is clear stops this...for me anyway, YMMV.The last two posts highlight the two different schools of thought on primer seating.
Ditto...but, I have ONLY used it for 9mm ammo, no rifle or large primer handgun rounds. Yet. the secret for my use is to adjust everything, turn the ram a little, etc such that it does not contact anything during its range of use. If it does, it has the annoying habit of flipping the whole assembly a small bit, just enough to cause the primer you carefully placed in the little seat to jump and flip a little, resulting in the primer being smashed sideways or partially so. for me, it happened all at once, several times in a row. I had lost the ram itself and had just installed a new one. Once I corrected the contact problem, all perfect install for my 9mm reloading.I use the Lee Ram Prime and I have never had a hang fire or dud. You can feel when the primer is fully seated.
