Auto Prime broken lever

The Auto Prime gives its user a good "feel" for primer insertion. You should be able to feel through the lever when the primer is seated in the case. No further pressure on the lever is required. If you press the lever until it contacts the body, it will eventually break. Apply a high viscosity lube (lithium grease, Vaseline, etc.) to the ends of the connecting link before replacing the lever.

If you are priming military cases, that have had the primers staked in position, make sure you chamfer the primer hole before trying to prime them.

The old Auto Prime with the round primer trays has been discontinued, and replaced by the New Auto Prime. There are no service parts available for the old Auto Prime with the round trays.
