When I first started shooting I bought Lee loaders for 9mm and 7x57. I loaded hundreds of rounds with both using a board across my lap and a hammer. I switched to a plastic head on the hammer to keep from damaging the rod further than I already had but never had a primer go off. The instructions were very explicit about seating the primer before adding powder and the bullet! I now have a Lee turret head press but would not hesitate to use the old hammer-pounder.
