I liked the Hornady long before I got a Lee a few years ago (which I like), and I still like the Hornady. Both are good, but the Hornady seems to be of higher quality (and comfort for me) and I'm not going to replace the Lee with their new version(s) when the older one gives up.

I'm confused.
Is it the Auto Prime XR that folks are reporting problems with, or the Ergo Prime?
The Ergo looks like a nice rig.
Paul I have an Ergo Prime. So far I've only used it to prime handgun rounds so it hasn't been wrung out. But it's worked well and you get a pretty good feel at your seating when using it. I usually sit down in front of the tv with a bag of cases and prime pretty much without actually having to look at them.

Thanks for that.
Does the Ergo-Prime utilize the same shellholders as the old Auto-Prime?

They're sweet and inexpensive but does Lee still make them? I missed your inquiry in regards to the Ram-Prime (oops). I don't know (never owned one), but don't see "Ram-Prime" listed on Lee Precision's website. So my answer remains, "I don't know". *edit, Ram-Prime!

The auto prime is done and parts are no longer available for it. I was happy with it and would buy another. My trepidation with the new Lee was that a full 50% of reviewers gave it a "1" at Midway, doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies!

I have all 3 Lee hand primers. The XR and the Ergo Prime are a bit larger than the original Auto Prime. I prefer the Ergo Prime. I like the XR fine, but primer tray setup seems a little more gimmicky than the original.
All 3 use the same shell holders.
