I picked up an old Hornady Apex press last week.Its missing the priming system. Are these still available? Is this press any good or is a Mec 650 a better press?

The Apex is of Hornady's 366 family of machines. Those that own them usualy love them. Many of Hornady's parts interchange (Bair & Pacific too) and it's a good bet the primer system will too. I do not own a 366 but know many that do and they are please with them. The MEC 650 though a decent machine is not a favorite of mine as it lacks a sizing station; it must be done as a seperate step. I prefer the Grabber or the 9000 as I am a passionate hull scrounger and need the resizing.
