The worst thing about being out of reloading for a few years is going through all your stuff and asking yourself... "What the hell was that used for!?"
Anyway, I'm sorting through all my stuff, in preperation of reloading again, and seeing if there's anything else I might need to buy. So I come across my hand primer tools, and I remember that I liked using them better then the primer seater on the press because you can feel the primers being seated. I seem to have 2 different tools. I know the grey one is probably an old RCBS. The shell holder on it is threaded in and it has an F on. The other tool (LEE?) is larger and I have a spare red part (seater?) for it. This shell holder has an 11 on it. I also appear to have pins kicking around for one or both of these tools. I'm not sure what sizes the F and 11 are supposed to represent but it looks like the newer style of hand primer tools take the same shell holders as the press does so I might be better off to just buy a newer hand primer tool. Suggestions?
