Hawg,

I am using the press but I do have a hand primer. It is presently for sale on eBay but if it does not sell, I will hang onto it and see if it has a place on the table. I never figured I would need two ways to put primes in cases, but your comment about a better feel from the hand primer makes a lot of sense.

Articap,

Good point on firing some primers before I go to the range again. The LGS is selling WLP primers for 3.00 a hundred. (Plus ten percent off for retired Navy.)

SLTM1,

Also good info. I will be cleaning these cases for the first time. 100 are Remington cases and the other hundred are from the Cowboy loads I shot today.
