Laine from LP was nice enough to email this. Since I posted my impressions of Lee's Auto Bench Prime shortly after it debuted, at least two modifications were done to the tool to solve the feeding and jamming problems. I had nothing to do with the mods, but there were a number of people who emailed their displeasure.

I 'll see about getting another one and try the improved tool.

Hello Steve,

The original Auto Prime with the round primer trays was discontinued in October 2010 because the primers being sold in the marketplace were more sensitive than they were in the past. The tool was becoming increasingly unsafe and for our customer's safety, we decided to rework the tool.

The Auto Prime XR (square tray) has also been reworked and is now called the New Auto Prime. This tool features a Small and Large Adapter and a folding primer tray. We had some hiccups with the tool when it was first introduced but since we have made the last modification this past spring, we have found it to be working really well.

Thank You,
Laine
