Can use this devise to push in a primer that did not seat deep enough in the reloading press?

I have never had that situation arise but I would say it's very probable...AS LONG AS YOU HAVE NOT LOADED THE POWDER AND SEATED THE BULLET. It would be be entirely to dangerous if the casing was loaded with powder and bullet.

Possibly. It depends on the REASON the primer won't seat to its proper depth. The Auto Prime will allow you to use reasonable force to seat a stubborn primer if it is not obstructed by debris, a military crimp, or deformed primer pocket. The force available in your press could detonate such a primer, which is obviously a bad thing. If the Auto Prime won't seat it with normal hand pressure, consider discarding the improperly primed case for safety.

If the primer does not stick out more than about 20 thousndths the shell will go back into the shell holder of the auto prime. Are your primer pockets clean ? That will cause primers not to seat properly. Please don't try to re-seat loaded ammo. The auto prime has quite a bit of leverage, you can actually begin to collapse primers so experiment a little first. Good luck and happy shooting. Ken

So the answer to your question is YES. The "ram prime" will replace your primer. This is a basic press, and for EACH caliber you intend to reload, you must purchase a die set specific to that caliber. The die set includes a 'decapping die' that removes the spent primer. You also must purchase a shellholder to hold the cartridge in the press.

No you can't, you need a priming tool. Or if you get a Lee press, it comes with it.

It does go in a press. Most presses use a standardized thread this will fit into, I use an RCBS. Lyman publishes several books about reloading.

Yes you can prime on the press as is. It is slow though, I do prime on the press when i am working on my target loads because I am making the rounds to be very accurate, I hand measure the charge and each bullet.

Yes, typical first step, you place shell , pull down for sizing and de priming, when you push forward you can seat a primer and as it slides back down your primer will be seated into the shell. On to step two and so on. Have fun be safe.

No...I purchased this item to attach to a Lee Turret Press (3-hole). The Primer seating assy that attaches to the ram comes with the press. If you do not have it, you will need to purchase the set of 2 (For large and small primers).

I have a single stage press. I do my reloading in stages. With the 9mm I have punched the primers and cleaned the shell and primer pocket but I have not reloaded any yet so I can't say. I will say that once properly set it should crimp in the very top of the case on each one.

I have not used the bulge buster kit. I would give it a try. I hand load .480 Ruger, .44 Rem mag and .357 mag with great success using this press. I also use the ram-prime chucked in this press. **use case lube** **when using the "ram-prime" kit, I have to pull the handle down as though I'm priming to insert a primer and barely make room for the cartridge case to fit in the holder to prevent from flipping the primer when using. Otherwise, I'd say go for it

No. Mine came with the bracket that supports that tray & feeder. As well the pusher foot for both large & small primers but not the tray & feeder system. You can see a complete list of kit parts here.......http://leeprecision.com/parts/reloading-presses/turret-press/classic-turret-press-parts The tray & feeder is around 24-30 dollars. I don't know what your experience is, but I use the RCBS hand primers exclusively. The press while good at charging,seating and crimping may be harder to prime with. A hand primer is 10-30 more but you won't overseat or bury your primers. Hope this helps. Cheers

unless you have a special press with special shell holders, all standard shell holders be it Lee, Dillion, RCBS...etc. will all fit in this hand primer. I have a universal shell holder kit made by China and they fit.

This press would be great for that kind of setup. I have my press set up for the correct crimp and Overall Length for my bullet and leave it that way. I manually prime as well. Good luck

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.

As long as you only are using the press, yes it is fine. But if you prime with the lee hand primer you will need a different case holder for the hand primer. Something to do with the way they make them. Universal fit for all others. Hope that helps

Probably not. You might be able to barely squeeze two in if you cram them in pretty good, but to press them they will end up "squishing down" and flattening/widening out a bit. You might also run into issues of not pressing all parts evenly if you try to cram two in.

The answers are yes, yes, and yes. Depending on how you order your press. My press came with 3 dies for 9mm. It included a "de-capper/resizer die for the first stage. The second stage is where you prime. The Load-Master does not require a die to reprime. The third station is for the power drip and it also flares the case. The fourth stage is for a bullet seat/crimp die. This die can be used with out crimping if you also purchase or have a "Factory Crimp Die." Just remember the Lee takes a lot of tinkering to keep working. Keep it clean and lubricated. Lee support has been very polite and helpful in understanding how to make it work.
