That's how long I've been filling primer pockets with a Lee hand held auto prime. I use more CCI and Remington primers than any thing else but I do have a tuned up 308 M-1 where I use Federal Gold match primers. (firing pin been sprung) I also use Federal primers for use in a slicked up 686. I've not had problems with the Federal's in the Lee hand primer tool.

I've got a little color from about all the reloading manfs. I don't care for Lee dies or about any thing lese they make other than the priming tool. I think their shell holders are loose compaired to RCBS. And I drive a couple of Fords and a Toyota. I still have my first car, a 55 Ford F-100 purchased in Sept of 1970 in the garage as we speak.
