Lee Precision AUTO PRIME XR User manual

AUTO-PRIME XR
When priming cases, handle as a loaded gun. never point at yourself or anyone else.
primers Will explode if shocked or crushed. Wear safety glasses at all times When priming or handling primers.
Warning If you feel an increase in pressure on the lever earlier than normal, you have a problem and continued pressure may
result in a primer detonation. STOP pressing and determine what is causing the early increase in pressure. It is likely a tipped primer,
a military case that does not have its crimp completely removed, or attempting to prime an already primed case.

The Auto-Prime XR (patent pending) is designed to greatly reduce the
likelihood of a mass detonation when priming cases. This is accomplished
by remotely locating the mass of primers during the priming operation. A
separate elevator pin raises a single primer from the tray and presents it
for priming.
Our testing of the XR tool continues to demonstrate a huge
dierence in primer safety from brand to brand. Our observation
is that the size of the packaging in which the primers are shipped
seems to have a direct correlation to the probability of
mass detonation. The larger the shipping package, the
more likely a mass detonation could occur.
Always wear safety glasses when
handling primers or priming cases.
