I haven't taken the plunge yet but when I was researching the subject I had decided on the kit with the hand primer v. the kit you list which primes on the press. People seemed to think the hand primer worked easier than the press mounted primer.

Priming on the press takes practice but it's no different. I use a hand primer.

Thanks for the responses guys, I'm gonna go ahead and order it.

Deore, is the kit you linked different than the one I originally linked?

Also do I need a digital caliper?

Good point about priming w/ the press. I used to use the press to prime when I was loading large #'s of handgun ammo, but now a days I exclusively use the Lee Auto Prime (hand primer). Most folks tend to thing using a hand primer gives the loader more control over seating the primer. As far as the OP's original kit, the pic shows a Lee Auto Prime hand tool to the the left of the press (round top instead of the square topped Auto Primer XR on your kit), but the description doesn't list the Auto Prime in the equipment.
