    Priming

    Purchased a lee anniversary kit a couple of weeks ago, everything was going fine until one of the priming attachments that hooks into the ram just broke, after priming only 25 cases.
    Outddorsupplies has no parts in stock and wont have anything until february.
    Do you guys prime on press usually or is it worth getting a hand priming tool?

    I use a hand priming tool. Didn't much like the on the press one from Lee. Did you get two with your press? I have a small and a large. You will find you need one in when de-priming otherwise the old primers go everywhere

    I use it, I don't mind it but then I've never used a hand held priming tool so can't compare.

    Have you tried Reloaders?

    If you have no luck at Reloaders, you could try Taieri Arms, they stock a fair bit of Lee product

    I've ordered spare parts and dies from Lee's website in the states. Pretty fast service and the shipping CAN(but not always) be cheap too.
