I just got my Lee hand primer and put it together. I read all the directions and still can't insert shell holder into hand primer. The shell holder #19 came out of my Lee 9mm Die set. Is there a different set of shell holders for the hand primer?

Wal-mart used to carry all of them and I think 6-8 different holders cover 90% OF COMMON Cartridges...2-3 bucks each or the top 10 set used to be about 15 bucks. I D K what they are now.

I got a set of Lee Auto Prime Shell Holders from Cabela's for $15.00 when I ordered my kit. It has 12 shell holders and does all the common rounds. It is a different shell holder than on the die. Make sure you get the Auto Prime set. It looks very similar to the die set. Auto Prime set box is red Die set box is green.
I'm learning as I go that's for sure. I made another mistake but I'm not telling that one on myself. lol It wasn't a safety mistake but it was Stupid Stupid Stupid!

You tried to charge a case without a primer. The powder went straight through and all down your leg and settled in your shoe. How many of you have done this.

Haven't yet. Key word there "yet" I'm sure it will happen though.

Just a guess. I remember when that still happens. oops!!! I mean when that happened. Remember just because your priming tray says it will turn your primers upright, doesn't mean it actually will. Just wait until you get a bad primer. That is fun too.

Please do tell. Being new myself if I haven't done it I probably will. This will give me a hint what to look for.

Never done this. My biggest problem is forgetting to raise the ram (pr put a casing in it altogether) before dumping my powder in the funnel.

The lesson learned is keep your brass separate and organized. I've been buying a lot of brass and had a lot given to me picked up off the range. I'm starting to get over run with the stuff. I was reading on here about washing them in a pillowcase in the washer. That sounded faster than tumbling because of how much I could do at one time. To make a long story short around 200 primed 9mm brass got mixed in and washed. GRRRR! Luckily being safety minded I was checking every piece of brass before putting them in the oven. To make sure all primers had been fired. Good thing I checked first. I also will never wash brass in the washer again. That was just a big mess and not worth it.

That's funny. You made me laugh today. We learn from our mistakes. It is all good when we know we can laugh at ourselves too.
