I was about to pick one of these up and saw it is only recommended for CCI and Winchester primers. Will it work with Wolf SRM primers? I assume it would and they don't want you to use it with soft bench rest primers.
Any other experience with this tool? thanks. |

One for small primers and one for large primers. Good product. |

I have 3 or 4 threads on this damn tool.
USUALLY it works great. My problem was that I had 2 #4 shell holders and 1 wasnt machined correctly and it's a PIA to load primers with it. Lots of cussing, spilled primers and mangled brass before I realized the shell holder was out of spec. Modify your order and get 2 shell holders. Other than that I love the tool. ETA - I love federal primers 205 and 205M's. They work fine in the tool - dont tell anyone though. I even put 100 in at a time............ |

Thanks again.
I saw the note from LEE and I did order a new shell holder for this press. I would have ordered two if I saw the post about out of spec holder. If it gives me issues I'll order another. Anything has to be better than the priming system on my LnL AP press. |

Possum Hollow makes an improved shell holder for the Lee primer tool

I ordered another one and threw the old one in the box of Lee stuff I need to send back.
