Bench mount priming tools

[itchyTF]

What is the current preferred tool (excluding CPS and Lee)? Is the Bald Eagle not made anymore?

They don’t make the Bald Eagle any more. I have one I bought 6-7 years ago. very nice! CPS would be my first choice now but if you’ve ruled that out I think there is a bench-mounted tool that takes the RCBS and upgrades it. Holland?

I have used the rcbs bench mount for about 5 years now. Only other primers i used was a lee hand primer so this rcbs is a big plus

The CPS is a bit pricey for my budget. Seems to be a number of complaints about the RCBS’s quality like sloppy fit of parts, spitting primers, turning primers in the cup, etc.

spitting primers, turning primers in the cup, etc.

Just doesn’t happen. Maybe the the very last primer in the tube if you’re running it like a gorilla .

Work the RCBS like a normal person and there won't be any problems. Pay attention to when you get to the last cartridge and a LITTLE care the last one won't jump out or flip either. Been using one for the last 10 or so years.

I use a Dillon 550 and 1100 that I have mounted to my bench...

Never ever had any of this happen and I'll prime 100 to 1000 cases at a time. The only thing I see as far as sloppy may go is tube bounce. There's several videos out there from what I'm told where you put a piece of tape somewhere to eliminate that. It doesn't bother me enough to go there. You can seat primers as fast and accurate as you can coordinate your movements. It's my favorite for my arthritic hands.

Any love for the Forster??

I see 2 versions of the RCBS tool. The handle at the priming end is different. Which one is better or newer. (Not sure newer is better).

I have a friend that loves his. He has offered to let me try it, but haven't yet.

I have the RCBS bench mounted priming tool. Still works great after 45 years of use.

RCBS…first version. I tried the RCBS bench primer after using “on press priming”. Liked the RCBS bench priming and haven’t tried anything else. Been using it for 10 years.

My CH wore the cam out after 25+ years
Replaced it with the RCBS one and never had the problems you mentioned.
