If you use the Lee Safety Prime system to prime your cases, here are a few tips that make using them easier:
1) Get a second set of primer dispensers. They're inexpensive (about $20 per pair at the various mail order web sites). With two each of small and large primer dispensers, you can dedicate one to each major type of primer (small pistol, small rifle, large pistol, large rifle), and keep them stocked up with primers. If you're heavily into magnums, you may even want additional sets for magnum primers. Having trays stocked with each type of primer cuts down start up time when getting ready to load cartridges, as well as reducing the handling of your primers since you don't have to empty trays and put away unused primers.
2) Label each tray by the type of primer it holds. You can also put a cut-out label from the primer package in the tray with the primers, to identify what brand and type of primers. A cardboard label inside the tray, above the primers, doesn't interfere with the primers feeding.
3) If you have pegboard storage near your bench, the types of pegboard hooks made for holding hammers do a nice job holding the Lee Safety Prime assemblies.
All three tips shown in the image below. If you look closely, you'll see the large pistol tray has a CCI label inside, and all the way to the right, the small pistol tray has a Wolf label inside.
