Alpha srp primer seater?

Alantra

Any advice on what priming system I can use to seat primers on alpha srp brass? The FA hand primer or my t7 press isn’t cutting it.

If I keep it up, I’ll have arms like Lou Ferrigno or an upper cut like Mike Tyson.

The 21st Century priming tool works great with my old hands. It has a lot of leverage, much better than the FA hand priming tool I also have, and. . . with its adjustability and hard stop feature, you get pretty consistent seating.

BTW: I think Sinclair makes one very similar.

You feel good about seating a few hundred primers in alpha srp with this in one setting?

I've never done more than a couple hundred in one sitting (would sit on couch watching tv) and afterwards would feel just fine.

I don't do that many with it any more (small batches now) since I got a Lee ACP bench tool that produces the most consistent seating than any of the 5 other seating tools I tried. Unfortunately, Lee discontinued it. Though they now have their APP, which I hear can work like the APP.

The Lyman accu-prime is the least expensive and works great if you don't mind single feeding primers and it's fully adjustable. The others seemed half fast at best. With the Inline Fabrication base plates it really easy to switch between appliances. Whatta Hobby!

This is what I went to when my hands got to a point of cramping and paining with the old hand held primer. When it was new the primers wanted to hang up inside of the feeder rails but once I put some dry lube in it and used it a bit it was good to go.

How many years ago?

A friend had an old one and said the new ones were plastic in critical places and quickly failed multiple times...
 
I have an old RCBS and a new one. I used to use the old one for both small and large. Then I decided I needed a dedicated one for small, and would use the old one for large.

Bought a new one, and although I’m not entirely impressed with the new one; so far it works fine. I actually primed Alpha SRP cases with it today. It seems to align better for the small primers.
