Lee Safety Prime - Priming .223 Brass

[outcry27]

My old man is a huge fan of Lee reloading equipment; he just recently gave me his old Classic Cast to get me started in the reloading hobby, and I'm starting to see why! Lee products perform just as well as the "premium" presses out there, at a fraction of the cost. Gotta love it.

Nice demo. Leave it to Lee to come up with a better priming system for cheap $. I love the fact that the act of priming keeps the primers "shook" into teh shute and that the primer being seated is no where near the rest of them should it blow on seating it.

Thanks for this video, I just bought a Classic Cast myself. Interesting to see you still kept the lever on the right hand side, I thought it would have to go on the left hand side to avoid hitting the safety prime attachment. Looks like you adjusted the angle of the lever to get around that, nice idea!

hey L4E, can you add the deprimer/resizer and deprime on the upstroke, load a new primer while its up there and then prime it on the down? Basically can you deprime and prime w/just 1 stroke?

Thanks!

The Safety Prime is designed to resize and deprime on the upstroke and then reprime on the down stroke. That'd work well for straight walled pistol brass, but I lube the bottle necked rifle brass like the .223 shown in this video, and I want to tumble clean the brass after resizing before I prime the cases.

For pistol ammo, I use the Lee LoadMaster press. It's a full progressive press, so all the different operations occur at the same time in the different stations.

RedDelPaPa is a complete idiot. It is sad for me to think how this clown breathes the same air as I do. RedDelPooPoo, take a hike.

[RedDelPaPa]

@throatkutter RedDelPaPa loads his shells at a level of quality and consistency you could only dream of. I take my time, and carefully examine every single case that comes out of my press. The reason I made the comments I made is because there are a lot of newbies getting into reloading and when they see videos like this, they think it's ok to sacrifice safety and quality for speed. Which is the perfect recipe for someone getting hurt.

Thats a pretty cool priming device and i was looking at getting one with my classic cast press, but it sucks to have to buy a small and a large primer device. Lee should have just made it where you can just switch trays and not buy onother device.

thank you for the video - I just received my primer and this video help me understand how to use it!

Thanks for the Video. Trying to set mine up, but I was thought I was doing something wrong. This saved me a lot of time thinking

Other dude is a tard.

[RedDelPaPa]

I hate you reloaders that go 100 miles per hour and don't even inspect your work. What are you proving? That you can half ass 500 rounds together in the time it takes me to do 100 quality reloads?

[Liberty4Ever]

1) I wasn't going fast at all. I was proceeding slowly and deliberately.

2) I wasn't reloading complete rounds of ammo. All I was doing was priming cases. This video is only a demonstration of the operation of the Lee Safety Prime.

3) Dude, what's your problem? :^)

[RedDelPaPa]

@Liberty4Ever Sorry for coming across a little too harsh in my last. My problem is, there are a lot of newbies learning bad habits from watching videos such as yours. Slow down. Priming is actually a rather dangerous step.

[throatkutter]

@RedDelPaPa So he needs to slow down, huh? Maybe get a quick wank between shells?? I think you have a bigger problem than worrying about newbies getting hurt. Your biggest problem is that you don't know how to shut the hole on your face!! Constructive criticism is one thing, being a dick is another.

[outcry27]

@RedDelPaPa - I like how you immediately assume he's not going to go back and inspect the casings once he's done repriming them, or before he puts his powder charge in, or before he seats a bullet, or after he's done with the cartridge. That's a hell of a lot of assuming.

Get off his case; it's a demonstration of a priming system, not reloading technique.

[PublicFilthSpeeks]

@RedDelPaPa Dont be a assuming azzhat. How do you know what his quality control process is? there i said it. i feel better now.... my .002 cent have been spent wisely... godd vid by the way Liberty4Ever.... A perfect camera angle for the prime demo... thanks for posting.

[PublicFilthSpeeks]

@PublicFilthSpeeks woops, I misspelled "good" in my .002 cent spent post... i hate it when that happens. Now in going to bend some bullets.
