Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada Let’s Hear It for the Equipment Snobs!

two minutes with a Dremel fixed my Lee priming tool so II could use it for the WSM wildcats and my 300 WSM long range gun.
Of course now I don't own any WSM cased rifles and have no plans to in the future!
I have three Lee Priming tools, and a Hornady- haven't used the Hornady yet, but maybe this summer!

I have them on several of my presses as well. It's probably me, but I have found it easier to use an attachment on the press. Not sure why, but I suspect that it's easier to get the primer onto the Lee than the press priming arm. It would be individual tastes.

I'm not a fancy person. What the Joneses have I say good luck paying for it. I've been repriming with my old lee hand priming tool, I think it's called an Auto Prime or something, for 40 years without a blip on the screen. Only problem I've had with primers is I had a Winchester large rifle primer burn through but it didn't damage my bolt. I reload mainly with RCBS dies on an old Rock Chuker press. I've got a few case prep thingies like one that that insures my flash holes are uniform. I also have a Forester Case trimmer and I have an outside neck turner. I do those things on new brass and other than an occasional re-trim for length I don't use them twice on one piece of brass. I don't anneal brass and throw it after the tenth reloading if it lasts that long. It's made out of brass, not gold.
I have one Weatherby Mark V and the rest of my rifles are surplus Mausers (except for one commercial Zastava 98)Remington, Winchester, Savage, Howa, and Ruger. They wear Leupold, Weaver, Nikon, and one Vortex and one Bausch and Lomb scopes. I have a reasonable gun smith that re-barrels actions and sporterizes Mauser actions relatively cheap. So other than the Mark V I own no real fancy rifles. I do know how to refinish wood and some of my rifles have beautiful stocks but none of my rifles are really what I would call, "Keep up with the Joneses Custom." I eat Hamburgers, Boiled and fried Okra, Fried Chicken, lots of potatoes and rice, any kind of Cajun food I can get my hands on and lots of Filipino food. My wife is one and she's the closest thing in my house to exotic, and she is very beautiful. I drive used vehicles and live in a 65 year old wood frame house. But I like it like that. My wife keeps it cleaner than most white women I know and it smells good inside. When I drink wine it's off the shelf at HEB. My two exravagancies are occasionally some good scotch, or Bourbon, usually Jack Danials Single Barrel and I do like micro brew beer, but thats as close to fancy as I get and I really don't give a damn what the Joneses are drinking. So you can keep the Joneses stuff and I'll keep mine.

I wish I had a replacement for my old Lee hand prime that would do 50 AE and 458 SOCOM. Then I will do the rest on an older Dave Corbin swaging press and measure powder with an old RCBS powder thrower, and weight the powder on my old Ohaus 1050 balance beam scale. Sometimes I just use the plastic powder dippers from Lee. They are usually fairly uniform. Good luck Steve R. Be Well, Rustyzipper.
