I use the lee hand primer and never had a bang.and before lee I used other priming tools[Bonanza]I wonder if it is due to forcing the primer or banging the handle in strokeing.
I would get a turret press regardless,single stage are obsolete for reloading.the turret carries the dies and no futher adjustment is needed.the turret is nothing but a single stage with multiple dies.I remove the rod on Lee press.I batch load as I decap and clean,then hand prime.then into the press whether its a turret or the Lee 1000 I have.all the other press dont make any better cart. than the Lee and a lot more money.the progressives are best for those making 1000s of rds.
