Currently I prime on a RCBS bench system. Slow, but it gets the job done when your priming small numbers of brass.
I have started to shoot pistol more. I reload on a Dillon 550b and it lacks the automated priming system of the 550c. My thought was to spend the $150 or so and buy the Dillon upgrade kit.
Then I thought... could I do better spending the 150 elsewhere.
For about the same cost I could go the Lee ACP priming system. With its tube/colander feed it looks like it could prime a boat load of pistol brass very quickly. However it's also got a bunch of plastic components and.. Lee is hit and miss sometimes.
Just wondering what route you guys would go.
Thanks!
 
The Lee would be a separate press and separate process.

The Dillon is the same press, just an extra forward handle press. If you’re looking to save time, that’s the smart money.

Ended up going with dillon. I need another press like a hole in the head. :)
Wish I was able to find the low primer alarm though.
Thanks for the input guys.
