So I had the old Lee Safety Prime (the round one). It worked GREAT on my Classic Turret press. After 6 years I started having problems and figured it was wearing out. Found out that Lee gives a nice discount (I think 50% off) if you send it back and exchange for the new model. I'm pretty sure I got the newest style (3rd generation) because it was only a month ago, December 2019.
Man, I can't get this thing to work for anything. I drop more primers than actually make it into the primer arm, and those that do are often upside down. Yes, I double checked that I was using the correct Large or Small device. I've also seen posts about "adjustment" but there's not much to adjust.
I use lots of Lee products and respect their engineering at a low price point, so I find it hard to believe that after the "2nd generation" Safety Prime failure their solution would be something just as bad. I've also read some great reviews about the newest primer.
I'm guessing it's my technique and so looking for some help. I've changed my whole reloading process to removing primers on a single stage, cleaning brass, priming on a hand primer, and removing the primer pin from the resizing die. What a pain.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
