Hand priming

[Mowgli Terry]

I have had a RCBS automatic priming tool for years. Since loading on a 550B the RCBS tool is used less. This machine is reliable and you do have a feel seating the primer. There are several pieces on the RCBS automatic priming tool on YouTube. There was a smaller bench mounted non-automatic primer tool from RCBS. That priming device is my favorite. It's been discontinued. I long ago retired by Lee's.

I HAVE USED THE RCBS HAND PRIME, MESSED UP SOME PRIMERS, USED THE PRIMER BUILT INTO THE PRESS, MESSED UP PRIMERS THERE TOO. i HAVE THE LEE AUTO PRIME BENCH MOUNTED PRIMER AND HAVE NOT MESSED UP A PRIMER YET. CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF IT BUT IT MOUNTS ONTO A PIECE OF WOOD AND HAS A HANDLE YOU PRESS DOWN TO SET THE PRIMER. ALL PRIMERS COME OUT AS THEY SHOULD.

Gotcha...never used the Lee Auto Prime so might as well be proprietary compared to the RCBS/Hornady shell holders that I have for all my cartridges already.
