It's just about impossible to set off a primer with the Lee Loader... if you follow the instructions! But adding a hand priming tool does make the process much easier. The one thing you will need with a Lee Loader is some case lube. A light spray or wipe makes the whole process much easier.

I started with a Lee Loader around 1987 but quickly switched to a Lee Turret Press. When I started reloading again recently, I took out my old Lee Loader and hand priming tool and loaded 100 rounds. Then I bought a Lee Turret press again ;-) If you get the complete kit with a set of dies from FactorySales dot com it's a very good deal.
