Hand priming tool ?

[HTDUCK]

Yeah that K&M would be overkill for me.
When I'm loading ammo it's not just 5-10 rounds usually.
It's more like 50 at a time.
Not having a primer tray on it and having to handle every primer ?
I am leery of that.
Always worried that the oil/perspiration on my hands will get in the primers and cause misfires.

I use the RCBS bench mounted tool. The feeding rod holds 50 primers. Quick and easy. Have to use shell holders but I have them for all the sizes I load so that is not a problem.Rick.

Rick, does that one have a mechanical stop for the primer seating depth or do you have to rely on feel?

 

[rick smith]

Don't know if it is a true mechanical stop but it does stop. You can feel the primer bottom out in the pocket. Have seated primers in some Win 308 cases that would have broken the handle of a Lee.Rick.

I have a K&S...after you use it the others will feel like cheap junk in your hand

What is the K&S?

My mistake! K&M Priming Tool

I also run the K&M, had it for at least 15 years.
I have the deluxe version not the one with the gauge

like rick I have the bench mounted RCBS. It's been reliable for more years than I care to remember. I have used the RCBS hand tool and found no difference in the accuracy department. Other folks I have spoken with that have used both types of tools have gone back to the bench tool as it is somewhat faster.
