I had a couple primers flip when I first bought the new version, but I got used to the XP and like it. Compared to the old auto prime, it's better IMHO. I hand prime hand gun and rifle.

LArge Primer XR plastic plate ... does not connect flush with the rest of the XR. The Small Primer Does!

I tried one and ended up tossing it. For me it was probably the worst Lee product that I've purchased... well, there was the Zip Trim.

I went back to my old round Auto Prime and went about looking for a second new one. I learned that others feel the same as I. If a new unit shows up on eBay, it sells for a premium. I didn't mind the cost.

It's the only one I have ever used.( I have only been reloading metallic for less than a year) I've just been real careful with it. Is the Ergo Prime any better?

Many apologies! My comments are about the Ergo-Prime!
