Here’s a nifty tool for you reloaders out there. The Lyman auto-prime allows you to separate the priming step from others in the reloading cycle, even if you are using a progressive reloading press.
What, you say? Why would anyone want to add a step?
There are good reasons to separate the priming process from the standard progressive reloading steps.
For example, outside of a progressive press operation, you can control-by-feel the seating pressure and resulting depth of each primer. If there’s a problem with something like a crimped primer pocket, you’ll feel it right away, and you won’t foul up the whole operation when that case hits the priming step on your progressive. Just set the offending case aside and move on. You can deal with that case later.
The primer punch is adjustable and indexes using the bottom of the case instead of the top of the rim — that provides precise and repeatable primer depth. MSRP: $174.95.
