I have three priming tools: Lee safety prime, Lee auto prime II, and Lee auto prime.

I tried doing all of the operations on my turret and found that once and a while I'd forget to prime a case. It doesn't happen often, but often enough that I decided when I load I did not want to focus on what I consider case prep. Case prep for me is sizing, priming, and the case or rifle rounds trimming, deburring, chamfering.

Sizing is mindless work and easily separated from other operations. I like to listen to the radio, size and store the brass in tupperware for later.

When I need to reload I start by patch priming on an Auto Prime II. It's faster than a hand held priming tool.

When it comes to priming, if it's something I shoot often, then I size and prime at the same time using the safety prime. I also store the prepped brass in for loading later. I especially do this for 9mm.

The Auto Prime is really the ugly duckling. I hardly use it anymore. Batch priming is so much faster using a cheap $25 Lee single stage and the Auto Prime II. The only time it gets used is when I need to prime one or two rounds, which is somewhat better suited to the hand held auto prime.
