What a surprise today, I had the day off and my youngest want to go to the mall for some books. On the way home I stopped by Gaunder Mt and yes they had large rifle primers and my favorite Winchester at that. At least I like them for hand guns.

In any event I had over 300 25-06 sized and deprimed so I took the time to set the primers.

I started off with a Lee hand primer, not that bad of a unit except it couldn't do Federal primers. So I had bought a RCBS hand primer and put it into action today.

While the RCBS feels like a quality unit I still like the Lee. The one thing that really bugs me on the RCBS is you have to take it apart and use the regular shell holder that you use on the ram. The other thing is that the primer loading rod falls out if you tilt the thing.

The Lee may be cheaper but to tell you the truth I like it.
