Re: What is it
Festus,
You describe the old Lee hand primer tool. It is single-loading and has screw-in shellholders. I watch the gunshows for holders for mine. These are letter-coded, and an old shellholder blister-pack will have a chart on the front or back. A is Hornet, B is .218 Bee, C is .30-30 etc. Last year I bought a half-dozen from a dealer who was glad to be shut of them.
Since I have small hands, I like the old Lee priming tool.
Cheers from Darkest California,

Sounds like a Lyman 310, or possible the #10.

Lee made a small one similar to what you describe also.

It was about 3"-3.5" inches long and took their own screw in shell holders. I had one for years, finally wore it out and bought a new model with primer tray thats ~2" longer and uses regular Lee shell holders.
