I have this priming tool I picked up at a yard sale some years ago. No markings on it as to who made it. The shell holder screws into the top. I would like to find some other shell holders for it but I don't know what it is. Works well too, has the best feel and leverage of any primer too I've used.

Lee made the tool, but it's been a few years.

ribbonstone nailed it. It's the first lee handprimer tool before they came out with the auto-prime.

So there might be a chance I could find some other shell holders for it:cool: Other than having to single load the primers I realy like the feel of this one. Thanks for the info.

Spend the few bucks for the auto-prime. Midway has the best price. With the auto-prime you don't have to handle the primers and it's the same tool only much faster. You can get a set of shell holders for the auto-prime for 12 bucks that covers just about every case made. These little priming tools have great feel and I've been using them since the one you showed us came out. Wonderful tools.

I have a LEE auto prime and an RCBS hand primer too. Neither has the feel of this old one, too bad they quit making it.
Give Lee a call. They might have some shell holders. We used to have one like that, don't remember what happened to it, probably one of my brothers carried it off.
