Like Patrick McManus, a great outdoor writer, I fish for sport and enjoyment. I don't keep big fish and I keep, if any, a few smaller fish to eat.

Translation: I don't catch many fish and the only ones I catch are small.

I like McManus too. The Grasshopper Trap was one of the first of his books I read. It was full of funny folksy stories of times long gone.

I don't fish as much as I used to. The last fish I caught was so large, the picture alone weighed ten pounds.

Sorry for talking about the original subject matter, but, I used the auto prime
for the 2nd time and I'm starting to like it. Now I'm not sure if i'm going to send it back to RCBS or not. ???
Ok, back to the fish stories.

Phantom Fish: A man was stopped by a game-warden in Northern Algonquin Park recently with two buckets of fish leaving a lake well known for its fishing. The game warden asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch those fish?" The man replied to the game warden, "No, sir. These are my pet fish." "Pet fish?!" the warden replied. "Yes, sir. Every night I take these here fish down to the lake and let them swim around for a while. I whistle and they jump back into their buckets, and I take em home." "That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!" The man looked at the game warden for a moment, and then said, "Here, I'll show you. It really works." "O.K. I've GOT to see this!" The game warden was curious. The man poured the fish in to the river and stood and waited. After several minutes, the game warden turned to the man and said, "Well?" "Well, what?" the man responded. "When are you going to call them back?" the game warden prompted. "Call who back?" the man asked. "The FISH." "What fish?" the man asked.

77 degrees and sunny in the "northern reaches of Detroit".

If you like it, why would you send it back?

To use the device, it takes a little getting used to, some coordinating myself with the press actions (I left myself open with that statement). I was ruining primers, dropping them on the floor, getting jams, etc. Now that I've used it a couple times, I'm starting to get the hang of it. I actually enjoy the alternative method of priming brass. I just primed 100 rds of 223 without any problems. I'm going to try it one more time on a different sized brass to make my final decision. RCBS seems very open and flexible to the idea, but I don't want to abuse that freedom.
It's probably 70% that I won't send it back, now.
