I've got (and had many previous) two old-style Lee Autoprimes that I use daily. One large primer; one small primer.

I bought THIS version of RCBS's primer tool last December when I needed extra leverage getting primers into tight Lapua 6.5 Grendel brass. I would recommend it to any/all new reloaders for the simple reason that it needs NO shellholder:
