I hate to say it, but I told you so!It's not that bad when you have ear protection on... At least your heart won't try to jump out of your chest.

This hand held priming tool will take the anxiety out of pounding in those primers
and here is a nice little hand held press if you feel the loaders are a bit to loud
These two items are (in my honest and humble opinion) two of the most INDESPENSABLE tools any handloader could have, right after a good scale.
I do the bulk of my loading on a hand press that I've had for a couple of years now. Sit down in front of a movie/TV show for some back ground noise and let 'er rip (or in my case, show my wife how to do it, and she's off to the races before I can say: "There's about 800 of these to do.") for sizing & flaring.
I'm not a big fan of the dippers myself, though they are useful for my application. For my handgun loads, the recommended dipper wasn't enough to cycle my action reliably. Good thing I have a charge thrower (I only use that for pistol loads... for some reason it won't throw a reliable volume of rifle powder) for that.
I normally use a dipper to get the bulk of my rifle charge into the scale pan, and then bring it up to weight with a trickler. One of these days I'll get a chargemaster combo.... but until then, I'm going this route with my Lee scale, because it just plain WORKS.
