What's you favorite method for priming?

[ScreaminEagle]

My lee primer is on its last leg, so I've been searching for other options. I have really been looking at the Forster Co-ax bench primer tool. It looks like a slick operation. So what methods do you guys prefer and why?

I have two Lee Auto-Prime tools, and they work quite well. I have two RCBS Hand Priming Tools, one of which is the Universal Tool. I use it about 97% of the time. It is my "go to" priming tool. I like to feel the primer seat and the absence of need for a shell holder make the RCBS Universal Hand Priming Tool the one I reach for almost every time.

RCBS hand priming tool. Had a guy at work use one of those hand priming tools that has numerous primers in an attached round tray type of set-up. He is "strong like bull" and seated a primer and squeezed so hard that it ignited the one primer which in turn set off the others! :evil: He's lucky he did not lose a hand, fingers, or his vision! I do one at a time on the RCBS.

That's crazy! I always keep mine away from my face.

I agree with the good Dr,FOTIS,and David on this one. Although my RCBS is not the universal, I have owned the original RCBS for around 12 years now. I really like feeling the primer and I can now tell if it is seated properly or not. Plus i look at each primer before inserting a case, so no upside down primers :grin:

No one uses a bench mounted priming system?

...my favorite was the RCBS bench tool w/ the primer tubes, it got lost in a move, now I use a RCBS hand tool...

Same here, RCBS hand tool. I don't know that it's better than any other, as it's all I've ever used. But I've had no reason to cheat on her.

I use a RCBS and Hornaday handpriming tools. I have one set up for Lge rifle and one set up for small rifle. My cousin swore by the Rcbs strips and bench primer. I like the feel of doing them by hand and the inspection opportunities that allows.

*wave*

I use my press (hornady) to prime as a stand alone step.

RCBS universal is awesome you can feel everything and best part no shellholder. Swap from large to small in a nijiffy too.

 

[rick smith]

Been using the RCBS bench mounted priming tool for over 20years. Tried the hand tool and gave it away.Rick.

Guess I'm the oddball here.
I use a K&M hand primer

How do you like the K&M, Randy? My RCBS hand tool for whatever reason has decided not to seat primers flush/square, and to me that seems like a fantastic excuse for a new toy.

I have been looking at this one: http://www.21stcenturyshooting.com/Priming_Tool.php

I really like, Seems like I've had it forever. I've used my friends RCBS and Lee hand tools and the press mounted tools and never felt the need to buy one and retire the K&M

 

[Elkman]

I use my RCBS for the small primers, because my old fingers can't effectively handle them. For the standard size stuff I use my 50 old solid steel, "C" type Herters press. I "never" fail to seat them all of the way in.

After the video, I am thinking about using my leatherman. Or perhaps my engine valve compressor tool?

HaHa! I have a tool for pressing out u-joints. Maybe that would work!!!
