You folks seen these yet? They have been redesigned and improved with a safety feature for use with federal primers. The price is the best part!

Thanks for the heads-up. Love my Auto Prime and now it's time to add one or two more. Scroll down link to see http://leeprecision.com/cgi/catalog/browse.cgi?1283294850.721=/html/catalog/primtool.html

Lee adresses Auto Prime primer restriction

Looks like Lee got tired of complaints and misconceptions regarding their Federal primer restriction. (Since I've edited this to merge the threads I'll leave in the link below

Yep i saw that a few weeks ago (think i posted something about it here) and it sells for less than $18.00 from some dealers. I still haven't ordered one yet because my old one is still going strong, and i am extra careful when using federal primers in it.

Interesting. The square primer tray alone might be worth the upgrade.

I agree! The only issue I've had with the Auto Prime is with loading the tray with the big Federal boxes....

Very interesting unclenick!
Been some years since that "war" started.

I'm not figuring on doing the "upgrade" though. Been doing fine with my old tools.

I'll admit that it took me about 50-100 primers to get used to it. (It's NOT all that different ... just feel and technique). Now I love it. I REALLY like the fact that the tray cover STAYS ON when you have to lay it down ... no more primers rolling all over my bench top!

How about that! There's already a thread on this. I'll merge the two.
