Bench Mounted Priming Tool

[Mike in Oregon]

I'm already second guessing my decision on choosing the Frankford Arsenal Perfect Seat Hand Primer. The wife wants in on helping me and I think a bench mounted priming tool would work best for her. I really like the concept of using pick up tubes being able to do 100 at a time. What all are you guys using?

I’ve been giving the new Lyman auto bench primer a try. I currently don’t like it OR hate it. Still trying to get to know each other.

NF1E seems to be liking the Lyman Accu-Prime a couple post down.

I still like using my PMA hand primer. I don’t think my hands will let me do that forever so I’m trying to find a better mousetrap. Right now, I’d suggest you doing the priming and let her do other tasks. Lol

While not a bench primer, this unit has replaced all my bench priming tools. Precisely seat to whatever depth you choose within rim thickness variations. Primers sit in the tube without bouncing around.

Check out the RCBS bench priming tool, it has priming tubes and works great. it would be easy for hers, I have had my daughter primes casing for me when she was younger.

I just watch a video on it. So far, that's the one I like.

Having waited a while to see if the Lyman or Hornady would put in an appearance, I'm considering this one although it uses a press - maybe I can find something small and cheapish?

Watched the Hornady promo vid, but, they wanted 299.00 US list for it, even if you got at 250.00, I think it is probably overpriced. Looks a lot like the old Bald Eagle one., think that's who made it. Lyman Accuprime Autoload with the feed tubes is about 140.00, when they get some built to ship again. As a bench unit, it may be a good one, depending on leverage needed on the handle, doesn't appear to be difficult, probably easy to extend handle if needed. Looks like a better setup than an RCBS bench primer,

Love my RCBS Bench tool.

I have one (PCPS) and like it a lot, easy on the hands, primer tube fed. Easy to swap between large and small primers but if budget is available I'd buy 2, one for large and one for small and leave them set up.

I agree. Easy to use and very consistent as well.

The Primalrights is another option. It is consistent, accurate and very quick.

Another vote for the RCBS bench unit. 15 yrs of almost daily use. No issues!

Same here. It's great for arthritic hands.

I’ve been looking at that one as well.

Lee "Auto Bench Prime", inexpensive, long handle for plenty of leverage with minimal effort (advantage for "old" hands), yet good feel when primer bottoms out. Only complaint is the primers tend to get caught in the feeder ramp, so it often requires a "tap" or two to get them to slide.

I figured I'd give the Lyman Accuprime a whirl for around $50. I like it a lot, but it's not the tool I would use for priming a large number of cases at a time, as primers are fed manually one at a time.

The lever offers plenty of mechanical advantage and it provides very good feedback and control. It's also very compact, taking up little bench space. One can switch from large to small primers in less time than it takes me to type this sentence.

I'm not familiar with Lyman's tube-fed version, but the base model is definitely a pleasant surprise in terms of function, feel and value.

I bought the Forster bench primer because I didn’t want to use the pickup tube to load 50 or 100 primers at a time. That seemed to be the only ding for the RCBS. The Forster primer loading tray and tube seem pretty smart. So far, so good.

I’ve been looking at that one as well.

It’s been a good one for me for a long time now.
They’re kind of hard to find in a search now because RCBS uses the word automatic in the name. Here is a link to one.https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1012932670?pid=457599
Edit: Someone mentioned above about letting their wife do the priming. I would never do that myself purely from a safety standpoint.
