Useful hand primer doodad recommendations wanted

I may have an issue using Magtech primers in my Dillon, so I would like your recommendation for a hand primer thingee. In the meantime I will move those primers to the bottom and use other brands. I have a crusty one I received from a late friend's widow, but it's kinda nasty looking. I also have another option if I set up a turret press to do basically the same thing before using the Dillon without depriming and repriming. What do you say?

i have a Frankford Arsenal, i bought as i was getting underway, thinking i might be handloading..

it works quite well

i cannot tell you how much i paid for it, i used most likely birthday discount, and/or other discounts, and that was like 3 years ago.


and i also have this as well

(again, i do not recall what i paid)

 
While min is 30 some years old I use a Lee hand primer for all my stuff.

I still run a single stage so I’ve used it a lot and still runs. (I’m not gonna change to a progressive so don’t tell me about it I’ve used them and like what I like)

Yea, when I reloaded all I used was the Lee, did a great job
 
I originally started back in the early 70's iirc priming with a "Lee" 'Auto Prime' hand tool that has primed many, many thousands of hand loads and never failed me. A few years ago "Lee Precision" introduced a newer version of the 'Auto Prime' tool, and even though I didn't need it, I bought one just for grins and giggles. It did in fact have a slight modification to make it a little safer with a particular brand of primers and I was curious. It too has worked flawlessly since I retired the older model.

Got this Lee hand primer tool a long time ago. Guessing more companies make something similar. Very easy to use does a good job seating primers.
 
I had too much to deal with lately to fool with those primers, so I changed calibers and got busy. I'll need to figure out my loaded supply to see what bullets to order. I do have a crusty looking hand primer tool I got from a friend. It doesn't look like it would hold up, but who knows. I hate to do much in the garage with the cold weather, but I need to at least load some shotshells and tumble some brass.
