The original and world's most popular hand-held priming tool. Fast and economical hand held priming with unmatched feel and accuracy. Lee New Auto Prime uses inexpensive Lee Hand Prime shell holders only. Ships with 1 folding primer tray, 1 small and 1 large priming assembly. Includes a FREE molded storage box to keep your priming tool shell holders and tool together. Molded storage box holds up to 18 shell holders.

Please note: Lee Precision has tested the tool by intentionally setting off a variety of brands and types of primers. Our testing has demonstrated that wearing safety glasses and hearing protection will prevent serious injury. However, all types of FEDERAL BRAND LARGE PRIMERS frequently caused the entire tray to explode with sufficient force to cause serious and painful injuries. These primers must be fed individually, see step 7 of product instructions, single priming option.

I use this exclusively on both handgun & rifle shells

Initial setup take some finesse but straightforward. When using, you learn to hold it as pictured to make sure primers in proper position. You quickly learn the 'feel' of a proper primer seating but check manually. If priming several calibers (I do 10+), the separate shell holder kit is a good added item. [Intuitive enough that I can prime 200+ shells while watching a TV movie.)

Bought one because I just wore my old ones out.  Used on some military brass and found out its not as strong as the old ones.  Broke my Large primer center section on the first batch.   Got through but was rough at the end.  I miss my old ones.  I suspect that the small one might not have the same issue of broken plastic gumming up the passage.

I use this tool only, don't like my press mounted primer so I switched to the Lee auto prime and haven't looked back.
