I like to prime my cases with the old lee hand held tool. It holds about a hundred primers at a time, and I have no Idea how many shells I have loaded with it, but its alot.
I have been using the rcbs tube feed mounted on the press I have had that for years,so far no major problems. I have considered getting a hand tool like the lee?

i have a rcbs tube feed primer and have never used it.
i just dont like the idea of them stacked up like that.
the lee hand primer is really easy to use and seems safer to me.

I noticed with the first lee auto prime i bought in the instructions it said to never use federal primers in this tool.Well thats a shame because i use federal almost exclusively.Have never(touch wood) had a primer go off.Sometimes when the trays get old the primers can sometimes flip sideways or right over.I make sure each one is right way up.
