Has anyone used the Lyman Ezee Prime Priming Tool?

was thinking about getting a hand primer, and this one caught my eye, especially as it will accept press type case holders. Is it a POS or a good bit of kit?

No idea but I can certainly recommend the RCBS Universal Hand Priming Tool, no need for shell holders and it has very good "feel" feedback when seating.

not sure i like the price on that too much - £60 - £100

Scopes, scales and priming tools, buy once, cry once :)

Admittedly I got mine in the US for $59 which at the time was under £35 :)

yeah, i'd consider one at american prices

so anyone got the lyman?

The Lyman looks fine and probably does a very good job. I started off with Lee, moved to RCBS, then modified and added stops to the RCBS and finally made one for myself however looking back on things the Lee which was under a tenner at the time did an OK job and it still sits on my shelf.

Jon on here (J D Reloading) did a very good video on some options, including Lee, the RCBS universal (which I bought and find very good) and the Lyman.

I got to try a Hornady one recently - thought it was better than the latest Lee or the RCBS which I already have. See report in Target Shooter www.targetshooter.co.uk

Jon in his vid says the hornady will only take certain shell holders. tbh, that video only reinforces that the lyman is a good choice :)

the rcbs looks so over complicated, and has put me off it
