Useful hand primer doodad recommendations wanted

[youngolddude]

I may have an issue using Magtech primers in my Dillon, so I would like your recommendation for a hand primer thingee. In the meantime I will move those primers to the bottom and use other brands. I have a crusty one I received from a late friend's widow, but it's kinda nasty looking. I also have another option if I set up a turret press to do basically the same thing before using the Dillon without depriming and repriming. What do you say?

While min is 30 some years old I use a Lee hand primer for all my stuff.

I still run a single stage so I’ve used it a lot and still runs. (I’m not gonna change to a progressive so don’t tell me about it I’ve used them and like what I like)

I started in 1960 with a Lyman 310 die set that included a primer seater.

I originally started back in the early 70's iirc priming with a "Lee" 'Auto Prime' hand tool that has primed many, many thousands of hand loads and never failed me. A few years ago "Lee Precision" introduced a newer version of the 'Auto Prime' tool, and even though I didn't need it, I bought one just for grins and giggles. It did in fact have a slight modification to make it a little safer with a particular brand of primers and I was curious. It too has worked flawlessly since I retired the older model.
