I’ll look into a hand primer, I can already see the manufacturers have lots of different theories about what works best.
I've used Lee gear, and I've used Redding gear. I would not doubt some discrepency due to mixing them . . . but I'd bet $5 the Redding was closer to spec. I like Lee a lot but Redding is one or two shelves up, so to speak.
