@blake711 - do you use that FA hand primer? Are you pleased with it? That one is quite interesting, especially since it even has an adjustment for seating depth. I don't like having the dedicated shell holders, but at least it apparently comes in a case for all of the pieces. With that many shell holders included, it would probably cover everything I load.

ETA: Sorry - I just went back and read your earlier post. I see you haven't bought one yet, just been tempted. Well, go ahead and buy it and let me know!
LOL!

I use the RCBS hand primer. Uses standard shell holders.

I works, I've had it 40 years.

If, I were to get a new one, it would be the RCBS that doesn't use a shell holder.

I prime lots at a time, so I have brass ready to load. Not changing shell holders, I could go to different calibers with no change, except possibly the primers.

Ha!

I have the 9yo grandson take brass from tumbler and sort calibers.

The 14yo uses Universal decap die.

The 17yo is resizing. He will be doing the loading soon. Especially as much as he is shooting that .30-06 load I made. Now, he is looking for a .30-30, too.
