NEW AUTO-PRIMEWHEN PRIMING CASES, HANDLE AS A LOADED GUN. NEVER POINT AT YOURSELF OR ANYONE ELSE. PRIMERS WILL EXPLODE IF

SHOCKED OR CRUSHED. WEAR EYE & EAR PROTECTION AT ALL TIMES WHEN PRIMING OR HANDLING PRIMERS.WARNING If you feel an increase in pressure on the lever earlier than normal, you have a problem and continued pressure may result in a primer detonation. STOP pressing and determine what is causing the early increase in pressure. It is likely a tipped primer, a military case that does not have its crimp completely removed, or attempting to prime an already primed case.

NEW AUTO-PRIME

LEE PRECISION, INC.4275 Hwy. U · Hartford WI 53027www.leeprecision.com

The New Auto-Prime (patented) is designed to reduce the likelihood of a mass detonation when priming cases. This is accomplished by remotely locating the mass of primers during the priming operation. A separate elevator raises a single primer from the tray and presents it for priming.

We have tested the tool by intentionally setting off a variety of brands and types of primers. Our testing has demonstrated that wearing safety glasses and hearing protection will prevent serious injury.

However, all types of federal brand large primers frequently caused the entire tray to explode with sufficient force to cause serious and painful injuries.

 THIS TOOL REQUIRES SPECIAL, INEXPENSIVE SHELL HOLDERS

 Always wear safety glasses & hearing protection when handling primers or priming cases
