Amazing. So, is that better than my $20 Lee Autoprime?

I mean, you press a primer into the pocket until it bottoms out. There's more?? If so, then the "utmost in accuracy" will continue to be elusive. At least for me.

Maybe not better, but definitely cooler!

My perfectly sensitive fingers give me a five finger discount on every primer I seat with my old RCBS hand priming tool. I can buy a lot of primers for $215. The only thing better than using my own digits is getting my wife to prime the cases for me. Fat chance!

It certainly does have the bells and whistles on it.

Unless you are uniforming your primer pockets, seating primers to the same depth isn't going to improve ignition consistency. If you are uniforming primer pockets then you know how much they can vary within a given lot of brass. And if you are uniforming the pockets, it would be an very expensive tool to have very consistent primer depth.

How good can it be, it isn't even "blue."

For the price someone could buy a K&M hand primer for each hand.

As with so many other of my "hobby tools", I'll spend the money for this when I can prove I'm down to it being the limiting factor in my perfect execution

You know, like the $5K golf clubs, the $500 bowling ball, the $250 running shoes, the $10K bike, ....

BTW, for $150 plus shipping I'll paint it blue for you

You should buy about a hundred of these and paint them blue, you could sell them for $250+ with that "improvement".

Or I could just pay some neighbor kid $5 an hour to do it on existing tools, he will probably get 75,000 or so primed for me for the cost of this.

Mine would come with a "No BS Warranty", everyone knows you can't load ammo without that.

Gee and I thought the Sinclair primer was over kill, this one takes the cake

A quote from the description:

"Increasing consistency when seating primers should result in smaller groups and increased shot confidence."

I think the owner of this company, Mr. Darrell Holland, needs to partner with someone with the last name of Oates.

Up for sale I have a minty handle for a RCBS Automatic Bench primer. Yours for just 6 easy payments of $20 each. For a limited time only it will come autographed personally by me.

We have to remember that benchrest competitors will sell there first born for a 0.1" group reduction at 200 yards.

I'll stick with my discontinued Lee press mounted Autoprime II.

Same effect as priming off the top of a press except with a primer feed tube. Its definitely accurate and consistent for depth outside of case variation

I have that RCBS priming tool. It's fine the way it is. Just used it last night while watching the hockey game. I think this add-on product is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. It's like those "accuracy wedges" for AR-15s. Hoo Boy!

Even if the seating depths are uniform unless the primer pockets are uniformed the primer can move forward in the brass 0.001" or more as it fires. I will stick with handheld or press priming, thanks.

My old 3 hole Lee turret accomplishes the same thing. I've always wondered what I was missing. Now I know.

Default The cart in front of the horse.

As there are variations in primer pockets, I too would much prefer to uniform the pockets rather than attempt to custom seat each and every primer based upon an individual measurement per shell. I use the Sinclair uniformer in a cordless drill. I haven't had a high primer or crushed primer since.

My personal needs are reliability and minute of torso accuracy. I've learned that a barely detectable high primer can prevent a gun from firing. The Sinclair uniformer solves that.

I use the Lee hand primer tool while watching tv. I run thousands of reloads at a time. Bill

I ran 5k of 308 match grade quality ammo.

This primer installer looks great for making a super high quality match grade ammo where every little thing matters.

Thanks for the link. I had an extra Harbor Freight dial indicator laying around and made a gauge based off their idea.
