AmI the only one that buys his brass at Midway?  I have found they have most of the uncommon, or dare I say, "obsolete" stuff either in stock or available by special order.

I'm becoming a bit frustrated with reloading this caliber.  I keep on finding such-and-such won't work.  Every time I seem to fix one problem, another one pops up.  The current one is that the hand auto primer that came with my Lee reloading press will not accommodate .50 cal. brass.  Suggestions?

Depending on where I'm at when I have cases to prime, I use either an RCBS bench type tool that uses standard shell holders, an RCBS hand tool or a Pete Allan copy of the Pope tool, also using RCBS shell holders.  Take a look on EvilBay for the priming tools...good used RCBS tools are going for about $10 and up.  My two RCBS tools work well with my 577-450 shell holder, as well as "normal" sized shell holders.

Thanks, 38_cal--I put a bid on an RCBS bench model.
