The cost of all the shell holders for the Lee primer is $15. The hand primer is $35. So both hand primers are $50.


The RCBS hand primer is a one-time cost whereas the Lee primer is $15 per cartridge you choose to load. So if you want to load 9mm, 40, and 45, the Lee will be $35 plus $45 in shell holders. The RCBS will stay at $50.

Actually bapple, the individual Lee shell holders for their priming tool only cost $3-4 apiece. OTOH, one can buy the Lee shell holder kit of 11 shell holders for only $15 total.

I'm referring to resizing dies with a decapping rod. The RCBS design is better since you can change out the decapping pin without having to replace the entire rod. With the Lee dies, the decapping pin is integral to the rod and must be swapped out together.

The Lee depriming spindle and pin are designed differently from others so that it's very rare to break the Lee depriming pin.
