My Rockchucker is a great press, but the built-in priming tool is lousy. I consistently have difficulty seating primers fully and it's hard to get a good feel for how they're seating. The Lee tool is great, a real bargain even if you do need special shellholders. A full set of these for any conceivable need can be had from Midway for $11.99.

The Lee Ram Prime is also good. I gave mine away to a new shooter when I upgraded to the RCBS press but I wish I hadn't. It is slower than the Auto Prime though.

You can also spend about $100 for a Sinclair unit, for match accuracy.........but I've been able to get sub-MOA from my 03A3 Springfield without it.
