| Are You Primed | | This hand primer is made by RCBS. Many reloaders consider RCBS to be the best manufacturer of reloading supplies. Some don't. I do. It is accurate and fast. It sure beats pulling a hand lever on a bench-mounted press every time you want to seat a primer. A shell holder is needed for the caliber of brass to be primed. Once the primers are in the hopper, a slight shaking turns all the primers in the right direction. The flat side of the priming rod must always be facing upward toward the primer. The round side might cause a primer to fire. The only problem I've had has been my own fault, not the tool's. If the primer well is not adequately beveled or cleaned to accept a new primer, the primer will jam with the flattened or damaged primer in place. PMC brass is the worst I've found. PMC primer wells have to be enlarged to accept CCI primers. The entire priming tool will have to be disassembled to remove the jam. I lock the assembly into a padded bench vice and gently drive out the damaged primer with a steel rod flattened on the end. ; | | | Rating |  | | Total Votes | 2 | | Helpful Votes | 1 | | Date | 2008-07-25 |
