PrimalRights CPS with Rimlock?

[NF1E]

Wondering if anyone is using their CPS with the RimLock attachment?

I have the RimLock, but haven't used it yet.

Sorry I don’t have one but am curious. I didn’t find an explanation on how it works, but it looks like a collet type chuck that you thread into the machine, clamping the base of the case against the machine? Do I have that right?

How far out must one screw it to remove & insert another case?

I had one come in today and was looking for insight. Will give it a go tomorrow on some .308. Whatta Hobby!

You have to unscrew it all the way, then you have to split the halves apart and insert a piece of brass, then you screw it back on till it bottoms out, then you prime it, unscrew it again, remove the primed piece of brass, then repeat the process for each round.

I would say that the Sinclair tool is faster, and is not rim thickness critical.

The rimlock takes rim thickness out of the equation. It also takes rim deflection out of the equation. It will hold exact tolerances. The biggest thing you have to learn is when your cps is actually at end of stroke. Greg explains it can take a CPS 500 rounds to break in. The amount of force required to absolutely bottom the press out even with the stop system may surprise you. My first 30 rounds primed only had 2 rounds that deviated by .0005. Uniform pockets to exact specs and this will do anything the sinclair will.do. with a priming tube.
I happened to have already purchased the fclass products upgrade a few years ago. Set the indicator to zero on a hard stop and hit zero everytime and the rimlock offers no variance in primed cases. Plus like is said no deflection in the rim from a 30 percent unsupported rim from the old shell holder style primer system.

Thanks for the input. I am impressed. Does exactly what I was looking for. Whatta Hobby!

Is rim deflection a thing now ?

Only if you miss the rim and pee on the floor. Happens sometimes when we are not paying attention. Perfect aim is a thing of the past for many of us dinosaurs. Whatta Hobby!

Ran a few .308 LR this morning. Easy set up and works as advertised. Whatta Hobby!

I have accidentally bent a case rim with lack of lube trying to extract from die. I am not so sure that brass rim is as strong as you think. However it could change headspace /seating depth possibly in relation to bolt face. Crushing an anvil takes force and that has to be applied to the rim. Not sure its a thing. But makes sense if you can measure it. And lord knows with everyone around here..."you have to be able to shoot the difference".
I am more interested in exact primer seating depth based on perfectly uniformed pockets. That's all folks.

How many cases you do in an hour?

Haven't even considered timing with this set up. With the new adapter, I wouldn't be doing many anyway. Most of the priming would be done without the adapter. Well close enough for my shooting needs. Nice to be able to prime from the base if desired, but not really in the line for now.
