Bought one of these Lee hand primers many years back.
It took me about 30 minutes to figure this POS out.
Why would anyone in there right mind want to do this extra step.
Every press I have ever owned had a primer arm on it to install primers.
The press gives the leverage to fully seat the primer and compress the anvil
of the primer against the primer pocket.
You can't get this much leverage with the hand job.
Oh yea, when they tell you you can crush the primer using a press, don't believe it.
A good solid pull on the press assures the primer is fully seated and not just
bottoming on a piece of grit in the primer pocket.
I don't clean primer pockets because I use a RCBS 4x4 progressive now.
Never had a bad primer or squib load due to primer not fully seated. But I
know people that do get them using that Hand Job.
