WSM priming tool?

[santee116]

I have been loading some rounds for a friends .300 WSM and the case is too big to fit in my Lee Auto Prime. I have an RCBS priming tool that works, but it is a POS. I was wondering what other WSM shooters are using.

Worse case, I may take a dremel tool to the Lee and open it up.

Thanks in advance.

Can't you just get the correct size shell holder for the 300 WSM?

What RCBS priming tool do you have, mine uses shell holders and works perfectly, RCBS makes one that doesn't use shell holders, shell retention is with a spring and is designed to work with all cases supposedly.

I found this info about the Lee on Midway:

<span style="color: #FF0000">"Special Notes:
•Material on the collar of tool must be removed to prime Winchester Short Magnum brass and Winchester Super Shot Magnum brass (#5 shellholder)."</span>

RCBS hand priming tool w/ #43 shell holder...

That's what I thought about the Lee, looks like the dremel for it.

The RCBS I have works fine for priming the WSM cases, I just don't like the "feel" of it, compared to the Lee.

I have both the Lee and the RCBS universal priming tool. The Lee is a POS compared to the RCBS. I have used both for my 7WSM and my Lee has always flipped primers. The RCBS is the only priming tool I use now. I just run a couple different priming trays to separate out which primer I am using.

I opened up my LEE and it works perfectly.

RCBS Universal hand priming tool; no need for individual shell holders. I prime everything from my .260 rem., .284 win, 7WSM, 7 Dakota, 338LM Improved on the same gizmo.
