A Lee is the only one I have ever used. It usually works well since Lee updated the small primer mechanism to one that is just a smaller version of the one used for large primers. Small primers will still sometimes flip inside the magazine, so you need to glance at it before loading a case into it so you won't seat one upside down or sideways. I've just learned to do that automatically. That just seems to be only with small primers. Large primers never give me any problems. Like I said, the Lee is the only one I have ever used and they are substantially cheaper than other brands I see advertised. I load for multiple calibers, so if I were to change to a different brand of priming tool, I would also need to buy all new priming tool shell holders. So, I just stay with Lee. It works and is a lot cheaper that changing to something else.
