November 5, 201214 yr Is this the best solution for priming the 45acp casings that use a small pistol primer? I have been putting small primers into the tray on my Lee Pro 1000. You have to do some gentle wiggling and eventually they seat, but the process is far from smooth and you get frequent jams. I thought about getting a hand priming tool for all the small primer 45 casings. Is this a good idea? Will it work?
November 5, 201214 yr Author I've been saving all mine. Ill use them... Someday I save mine and it's probably a good few hundred now. Would hate for it to go to waste. It took entirely too long using a carrier unit built for large primers. It's not worth the time doing it my bootleg way. I'm hoping someone can confirm a hand primer is better. Though hand priming 300 casings sounds like a task as well.

November 6, 201214 yr I've got a hand tool with a small cup installed, if i come across one, I just pop it out from under the spring (Hornady Press), seat the primer, then slip it back in and keep going..costs me maybe 30 seconds
