If so, I have one of the older style round ones, and it is great.

When priming 500 cases, I think you're going to suffer some fatique no matter what you do.

I actually prefer the plastic so far, especially in a hand-held tool.

I have to admit though, I rarely use it any more, unless I'm using my hand press. It is so much more efficient to prime on the down stroke of my Lee Challenger press. The feel and seating depth is not quite as precise as on the hand priming tool, but for pistol ammo, it doesn't seem to matter.

You mentioned something about a Lee powder measure. Are you talking about the Perfect Powder Measure? I've never used one. I had the RCBS Uniflow, and was not impressed. It didn't meter well at all with the extruded rifle powders like IMR 4350. IMO, the Lee Pro Auto Disk is much, much nicer. Again, I like the efficiency of charging in the same step as case mouth flaring. The Auto Disk Pro screws into the top of the flaring die.
