In a way, the 310 tool is less messy as all you really need to lube is the case neck. Can just use a bpad of lube, keep you fingers on the rear 1/2 the case, and just give the front/neck area a little roll before going in the die.
Sill use a tong tools for some loadings, even though I have other dies and a couple pf presses. Just kind of fun to load with the old tool; nice to be able to put a complete kit into a shoe box and haul it out to the field with you. Slow priming, but one of the best systems: has a positive, setable mechaincal stop, give the "feel" needed for bottoming primers, and you get a visual clue as well.
