Primer tube filler thing...
« on: July 13, 2013, 04:42:13 PM »
Was at Cabela's...

Saw this on the shelf:

Hmmmmmmm...

I know we had discussed this in a different thread somewhere.

And also, for folks, sorry I'm been a bit tied up with real life lately and not too active in the SCIENCE or postings here.

I've followed a few forums where guys are making these. Seems worth it to me.

It is highly likely the above post may offend you. I'm fine with that.

I really like priming on my single stage press, as opposed to the auto prime on my progressive. Too many sideways, or upside down, or missed because of a piece of powder on the progressive. On the single stage, set it on the little swingout arm, and feel the primer seat on the upstroke. Never fails.

I have a hornady lnl ap, and have never had a sideways primer. I have had powder get stuck in the primer system.

I have the lnl also and never experienced that. I was wondering so I know which press to avoid. I'm assuming its a lee.

Yes it is a Lee five stage, and the least little piece of powder in the feed and it messes up. I seldom use it in progressive mode any longer and use the single stage for priming. Since I am practicing loading for distance shooting and trying to perfect the science of loading, I am not interestd in speed. Now should the SHTF that might change.
