Elevate Your Reloading Experience: Introducing the Lee Safety Primer Feeder

For dedicated reloaders, the pursuit of precision, efficiency, and above all, safety, is paramount. Whether you're a seasoned expert or embarking on your journey into the rewarding world of ammunition manufacturing, the tools you choose significantly impact your results and peace of mind. Among the most critical steps in the reloading process is primer seating. It's a stage where consistency is key, and safety cannot be compromised. This is precisely where the innovative Lee Safety Primer Feeder (Small & Large Primers), identified by its MPN 90997 and UPC 734307909970, transforms the reloading bench.

Designed by Lee Precision, a name synonymous with quality and value in reloading equipment, this primer feeder is engineered to solve common challenges faced by reloaders. Have you ever wondered how to make your priming process faster, more consistent, or simply safer? Are you looking for tools that minimize direct primer contact to enhance safety and prevent contamination? The Lee Safety Primer Feeder is your answer. It's an essential upgrade for anyone using compatible Lee reloading presses, providing a seamless and secure method for feeding primers without ever touching them directly.

The Ultimate Solution for Safe & Efficient Priming

The core problem the Lee Safety Primer Feeder addresses is the traditional handling of primers. Manual primer handling can be slow, prone to inconsistency, and carries an inherent safety risk due to the sensitive nature of primers. This ingenious device eliminates the need for manual contact from the moment the primers leave their box until they are seated in the brass.

• Unparalleled Safety: The most significant advantage of the Lee Safety Primer Feeder is its commitment to user safety. By eliminating direct human contact with primers, it drastically reduces the risk of accidental detonation caused by static electricity, impact, or contamination from skin oils. This "never touch the primers" philosophy is a cornerstone of responsible and secure reloading.
• Boosted Efficiency and Speed: Imagine a continuous flow of primers, ready for seating, without interruption. This feeder holds up to 100 primers, allowing for extended reloading sessions without constant refilling or fumbling with individual primers. This dramatically speeds up the priming stage, freeing you to focus on other aspects of quality control.
• Consistent Primer Seating: When primers are fed automatically and precisely, it contributes to more consistent seating depth. Uniform primer seating is crucial for reliable ignition and optimal ammunition performance, directly impacting accuracy and velocity.
• Reduced Hand Fatigue: Repetitive manual handling of small components like primers can lead to hand fatigue over long reloading sessions. The automated feeding mechanism of the Lee Safety Primer Feeder alleviates this strain, making your reloading experience more comfortable and enjoyable.

Seamless Integration with Your Lee Reloading Press

One of the standout features of the Lee Safety Primer Feeder is its designed compatibility with a range of popular Lee reloading presses. This ensures a perfect fit and reliable operation, making it a natural extension of your existing setup.

Which Lee presses are compatible with this feeder?

The Lee Safety Primer Feeder (UPC 734307909970, MPN 90997) is specifically designed for use with the following Lee reloading presses manufactured in 2006 and newer:

• Breech Lock Challenger Press: A versatile single-stage press known for its quick-change die system. The primer feeder integrates perfectly, enhancing its single-stage efficiency.
• Turret Presses (including Classic Turret Press): For reloaders seeking higher output, the Lee Turret Press, particularly the Classic Turret Press, benefits immensely from this automated feeder. It allows for continuous operation without stopping to manually prime each case.
• Breech Lock Classic Cast Press: A robust, heavy-duty single-stage press, often favored for its strength and precision. The addition of the Safety Primer Feeder further streamlines its operation.
• Classic Cast Press: Another durable single-stage press designed for heavy-duty tasks, which, like its Breech Lock counterpart, gains significant operational ease with the feeder.

Important Compatibility Note: Depending on your specific die configuration on a Turret Press, you might need to purchase the Lee Auto Disk Riser. This accessory provides additional clearance, ensuring the Lee Safety Prime unit fits comfortably and operates without obstruction, especially when using dies that extend lower than usual. Checking your current setup for potential clearance issues is a simple step that ensures a smooth installation.

Understanding the Design and Functionality

The Lee Safety Primer Feeder isn't just about automation; it's about smart design. Crafted from durable nylon, this feeder is built to last while remaining lightweight. The white and clear finish allows for easy visual inspection of the primer level, so you know exactly when it's time to refill.

How does it work?

The feeder consists of a primer tray and an indexing mechanism. Primers are simply poured into the tray from their original packaging. The tray orients the primers anvil-up, then guides them into a chute, which delivers them one by one to the priming station on your press. This methodical process ensures each primer is presented correctly for seating, minimizing misfeeds and maximizing reliability. The system accommodates both small and large primers, providing versatility for various calibers without needing separate feeder units. Switching between small and large primer tubes is straightforward, making it adaptable for different reloading projects.

• User-Friendly Operation: Setting up the Lee Safety Primer Feeder is intuitive. It easily mounts to your compatible Lee press. Refilling is as simple as pouring a sleeve of primers into the designated tray.
• Durable Construction: The high-quality nylon material ensures longevity and resistance to common reloading chemicals, making it a reliable component of your reloading bench for years to come.
• Versatile for All Common Primers: Whether you're loading pistol or rifle ammunition, small or large primers, this single unit handles both, streamlining your equipment needs.
