What do I have??? Lee hand primers?

[Dantforth]

I inherited a bunch of relaoding stuff and am not sure, when I sell these, what to call them. Can someone help?

Those are Lee priming tools.

The one on the left is a newer style that takes a slide in shell holder.
The one on the right is an older style that takes a screw on shell holder.
Both style shell holders are proprietory and only Lee sells them.
However, they work well.

Thanks Colin...... just what I wanted to know. The older one comes with five shell holders...2X "K", H, P, CC. Can anyone tell me which cartridges they are for? David

Thanks Kamlooky. The only problem being that these are lettered and your list has no letter shell holders. David
