Hand primers

['Boo]

I broke my Lee, too, after about a 1000 rounds. Bought an RCBS and haven't looked back.

Me too ....

I have broken and/or bent several Lee primers, the pot metal handle and linkage are just too fragile. I now use a RCBS and am quite happy with it.

I've got the RCBS and I like it. Works well & does the job properly!

 

[Gatehouse]

I use a LEE because it's what I've got. Or I prime on the press sometimes, too...

When the LEE breaks, I'll get abetter unit. I don't get high primers, but once you look around, there are clearly better oens out there.

I find my RCBS is easier to use compared to the Lee. The Lee is easier to set up though. Both work well.

I used a Lee for probably 5,000 rounds. It finally broke--the pot metal linkage thingee just snapped in half one day.

Replaced it with an RCBS, it's 10,000,000 times nicer.

I own plenty of Lee stuff, don't get me wrong, but I won't buy a Lee hand primer again after trying the competition.

How do you measure that?
