Yikes! How did this go south?
1st off, thanks to everyone who took the time to help me out. Y'all are the greatest!

The priming system that comes with the T-7 press is a PIA to use, the same as any other turret or single station press. If you're going to load a lot of ammo, I'd suggest you get Redding's auto primer kit for your T-7 press. Price from Brownell's or Midway USA is around 55.00 bucks and well worth the money. I have one on my T-7 and love it.
Okay, I think you cleared up the internet complaints I was reading. I
thought they were talking about the auto primer kit; apparently not. I'll just get one and see how I like it.
I've used the primer system that came with my Rockchucker kit in '77. I like it, a lot! Well, except when a tube and tray of primers blew up in my face. That was one scary situation to say the least! I feed the tube by hand and, I guess I'm the exception, get a great feel for proper seating. I also have a LEE single primer unit that I get a great feel for as well. About 18 months ago I bought one of the RCBS tray primer systems and hate it, nothing but junk. It's a Rube Goldberg contraption at best. It's impossible to seat the primers .001" below flush with the handle squeezed all the way in. I don't doubt the older ones might be better, or maybe I just got a bad one.
DB, I remember when RCBS came out with those strips. If you didn't bring them up, I would never have thought about them. I'll see how the "auto" primer system works 1st.
Again, that's for the responses and I'm open to more suggestions. I won't be buying for about a month. I'm just trying to speed up my reloading a bit, that's all. I enjoy it regardless, once I get started.
I'll leave the ruckus above as is. Sometimes it's best to see our members as they really are and we can make our own decisions. It's really not a big deal and I appreciate all feedback on the topic. I don't ask for much, but when someone takes valuable time out of their busy day to help me out, I take notice. Thanks!
