Re: Federal primers on Lee Load Master
Yes they sent me a new large primer tray.
I ordered an RCBS bench primer and it worked as advertised however the feel of seating the primer was similar to press priming.
I really like the Lee Bench primer better, really seats the primers smooth and effortlessly. I used the small tray to seat 100 - 357's without incident. The drawback is I'm waiting for it to break again. The RCBS uhhhhhhh no it's all metal.

Re: Federal primers on Lee Load Master
Get an RCBS hand primer then. Almost all metal, positive feel, quick, prime in front of the TV, uses real shell holders.

Re: Federal primers on Lee Load Master
Federal Primers are not to be had here, Ireland, for love nor money. I've used Federal for a year or so now and never had a problem. When I read the Lee warning I always imagine some legal issue that Lee covers their ass with. If you have a Smith and Wesson with a trigger or spring job you need Federal. I can't get them anywhere so I'm using CCI and Magtech. It's only an issue with my revolver. I fired 50 or so on Saturday with the Magtech and had one soft strike.

Re: Federal primers on Lee Load Master
Yes they did shipped it FOB. I believe the problem with the bench prime was more on the operator than the tool.Ranch Dog wrote:
Yeah, that's not good. Did Lee make the Bench Prime good?
Have since primed about seven hundred and fifty both large and small primers. It has worked flawlessly, like anything else, just pay attention and finesse it don't muscle it.
