Thread: Hand held priming tool, school me up ???

They seem to vary in price from about $50 for the Lee version up to about $180 for the RCBS version with the Hornandy and Lyman versions falling in between them.
Is there any great difference between them ? What makes the $180 RCBS version so much betrer than the Lee ?
Any horror stories ?
Thanks team
Also if anyone is thinking of offloading one at a reasonable price let me know ?

I have lots of different ones including the basis lee one and the RCBS and lyman hand held ones. My favourite is the lee "ergo" hand primer with the square primer feed. Hard to find as they stopped making them and went to a useless flip tray but if you can find one buy it as you wont regret it. Ive primed vast quantities of cases with it.
