Need Advice on equipment purchase

[Matt Anthony]

I'd buy the Sinclair priming tool and while you are at Sinclairs site, buy the Harrell powder measure. The Premium model is the last powder measure you will buy, needle bearings and all! You could also pick up the Acculab scale while you are shopping.
I have the Acculab and it's the most accurate scale I have ever owned, however I also have a RCBS digital, the first one they came out with that still is working perfectly. What I like about the RCBS scale is it's size. You can put a powder trickler right next to the pan. You get what you pay for, so buy it once and be done with it.

I'm not sure what the advantage is with any other type of primer tool. Juxt because it's cheap doesn't make it less effective. The Lee tool is the rare instance when you CAN in fact have FAST, CHEAP, and GOOD.

I like the version of the Lee priming tool that screws into the press & where you use the ram to seat the primer. It has a hopper that holds 100 primers. It is very fast & gives an excellent feel when you seat primers. I prefer it to the priming arm found on the Lee Classic Cast Iron & similar presses. You get better feel when seating primers when raising the ram rther than lowering it.

I like that primer too, as long as I remember to check that the primer has dropped all the way down the "chute" & is lined up w/ the hole in the shell holder.
