is primer depth properly set?

It is all a matter of the primer pocket. With this tool you can literally feel the primer seat. If you are dealing with cases that have the primers swaged in and they have not been milled properly, you will have a difficult time seating the primers. Also some Winchester cases I have found have tight primer pockets. You can seat the primers into them with some difficulty but you will still feel it when they are seated properly.

Yes it's a great piece of equipment.may I suggest using a pocket cleaner tool prior to priming.

A few well-worn cases in 38Spl felt different when I seated a batch of primers. Visual inspection revealed seating to be a little too deep instead of flush with the case end. I haven't fired them yet, but they should be okay. Incidentally, I went thru about 60K rounds with three of the previous Lee priming tools and several more thumb levers and never had a primer ignite. The only serious problem was seating deep enough on stubborn cases - it required switching from R&P; and Win cases to Starline in 45Colt only. Other calibers generally have been just fine.

yes, primer is flush with cartridge head. Biggest problem occurs when primer is not oriented properly (i.e., not cup-up) - the result is not pretty. It happens about once every 100 rounds, requiring constant vigilance before squeezing to set the primer.

Yes, It will always set at the proper depth if you squeeze the the lever all the way. This can be quickly checked by setting the casing upright on a hard flat surface. You can do this until you are comfortable that it always seats properly. I have never had one not seat but on occasion the primmer is flipped so be aware of that until you are comfortable, always check.

No idea because I am way more concerned about preserving the logs from checking so I apply the sealer liberally. Two coats of anchor seal has the same prtection as four coats of latex primer.

I didn't prime mine, and it turned out okay. So I'm assuming it's not, but a rattle can of colormatch primer is probably like $3.

There is NO problem with the depth setting. The only issue that I have had with the gun is using 2 1/2" ring shank coil nails. Even though the specifications say they can be used, they do not set fully/consistently. You have to follow-up with a hammer. Use 2" and there is no problems.

You will be able to prime with this press. You will have two methods to do so. An on press primer as well as a hand primer. You will only need primers and cases to start priming with this set.

hmmm i am german, i hope you understand what i am trying to say. The dehyndrant sucks out the wet, and the primer is a primer.... to make 2different materiale easier to stick to eachother. if you use both, than use the dehyndrant first , wait until all drys (about 5sec) and use it really thin and than the primer really thin as well.... all AFTER buffing naIL. my nails last for about 4-5weeks this way

The depth adjustment is pretty firm. It can require a bit of jostling to set an exact depth of strip, but it isn't too hard to adjust, and won't go anywhere while you're using this tool.

you can adjust the depth from about 1 half inch to about 2 inches.I use it about in the middle now. I started a the smallest and worked up each time

Change over t0 what? You can't change from a large primer to a small primer or viceversa. I am not sure why you would want to change from one brand of primer to some other brand.

Yes, it comes with two primer holders, one for each size. I've used large and small primers and they work fine in the proper holder. You do need to have shell holders designed for the Auto-Prime. Shell holders designed to work in the Lee or any other press won't work in the Auto-Prime because they are too large.

Cary, the one I purchased does not come with a primer feed, and for that matter, the way the press is set up, it's extremely easy to just set the primer in place. The shot gun primers are a lot bigger and quite easy to handle.

Haven't tried primer. I used oil stain with dark pigment. Clogged up so much I couldn't use it. Also it doesn't work well using the tube in a 5-gallon can. If you get it, thin it down. Not sure I'd use it for a car, if that is what you are primering.

my husband did not use a primer and it worked great! he was very pleased. it does go on more evenly if u do use a primer though.

Omg I have the same question I bought the primer which is so thick I can't get it out of the tube...horribleI contacted the company and they are rude I also bought the base and it is just not the same as the one I purchasedIn Zurich...What is the problem with yours?, is there anything we can do

Set die depth around case, starting shallow going deeper depending on amount of crimp desired. Very simple a little practice and get it just like you want. When starting to get to much of a crimp shell case will become distorted, give it a try, great dies.....

No but this product does not need it... If you want you can use a universal primer for situations or work that you need to use it! :)
