In the past I've always used the primer loader on my Lee turret press, But after reading about the Lee Auto Prime on this forum I decided to try the Auto Prime. Tonight I primed a couple hundred .45 casings with it and thought it was a great way to prime. My question is how do you hold the thing? To me, the safest way is to squeeze with your thumb, thus having the casing facing away from your face. But I wondered how many people squeeze with their fingers with the casing facing their face.
