Priming with a hand held tool vs. Press

Both

Depends on what and how many we're talking about.

Lee Auto Prime II installed on a Lee Classic Cast "O" single stage press.

I load on a classic turret and prime on the press. It defeats the design and purpose of the press to prime by hand.

Not necessarily, Rusty...I use a Lee cast four hole turret and still prefer to resize/decap and prime on a single stage press. It tends to fit into my case inspection program...

Lee Precision Auto Prime - don't see how anyone could break one of these fantastic $12.00 tools. If you put grease on it as recommended it is almost too easy to prime with - So little effort. Worth every penny.

I have used an RCBS Bench primer for over 30 years and will always use it for hunting rifles.

I own and have tried both Lee and RCBS hand helds and don't like the way you have to be so careful when changing primer sizes. Just MHO!

My square Deal B works great when used.
