Poor Quality Tool
7 of 7 found this helpful The Lee Auto Bench Prime at first appears to be a great value because of the price. All my reloading equipment (turret press, dies) is from Lee and works just fine so I thought I would also have success with the bench priming tool to have more consistent and quicker priming. Not so. After only about 200 cases I noticed quirks. Even though I loaded the feedtray properly, the primers would often feed sideways into the case causing a partially stuck primer in a rifle case. Not only is this dangerous but removing it is frustrating and time consuming. Then the plastic feeding mechanism cracked partially which made things even worse. I tried many times to make the primers feed right and for about 75 cases they did. Then the same problems reappeared. This is not how I want to spend time enjoying my hobby. Nothing but frustration and waste of time. This is a cheaply made product that gives inconsistent performance. I've just placed an order for the RCBS bench mounted priming tool and expect it to be much better. I do not recommend this product. Spend the extra $50 and buy a quality made tool. You get what you pay for....
