    Unless you want spent primers all over the reloading bench, do the spent primer mod, or order one off ebay. You can find the stuff to do it at ace or home depot. There are plenty of instructions on the internets on how to do it.

    you spent too much money on a tool set and the primer flip tray. Generic allen head t handle wrenches and flip tray could have been purchased for under $25 for both items. At least you jumped in with both feet. Enjoy the new addiction.

    Good Lord, Merry Christmas indeed! That is nearly as much as I spent on my last car. If I didn't know you were armed, I might be wondering where you live...

    Forgot, pick up Lyman's latest reloading manual, download the load data from the mfg for the powder you're using, BUY COMPONENTS NOW, Then BUY MORE. I prefer the Giraud over a dillon trimmer, because the G is so much quieter and less messy, if done right.
