Bench mounted priming tools?

[smokin54]

I hate to admit it but I am getting arthritis in my hands and am having some difficulty in using the lee auto primes that I have used for so many years , I went to the lee so I could "feel" the primer seat .
Now thinking its time for a bench mounted priming tool, I have looked around and know i don't want to mess with the Rcbs "strips" but was looking at the rcbs 09460 and then thought i would ask here from those with personal experience with a bench primer and see what is working well ?

I have the bench mounted RCBS and love it. I hate the primer pick up tubes but have gotten around that nicely by realizing that my Dillon primer tube filler machine will drop primers from the dillon tube right into the RCBS tube if you take the pick up part out, hold the dillon right over the rcbs, and then pull the pin out. Works great. Primes great too, as you can feel if you got a loose pocket, etc.

I've used the RCBS for years. You still get some feel seating, and I see no difference in accuracy.

Me too - I bought my bench priming tool just after RCBS bought the design from someone else (Lachmiller, I think), so I've had it for some 35~ish years, and it is still in perfect condition.

I recently bought a second new one, just in case RCBS decides to discontinue it.

Ditto on the RCBS. 35 years+, good seating feel, good speed.

I have only had my RCBS ~25 years. It's good to know it has a few years left.

Highly recommended.

Me too for the RCBS: love it.

I like the Foster CO-AX Primer Seater: http://www.forsterproducts.com/catalog.asp?prodid=700679 . Got two set up, one for my 6PPC, the other for my 30BR.

I've been using the RCBS 09460 since the late 1970's and it's been perfect... quick, accurate, and excellent 'feel'. About a year ago the return spring broke, but one call to customer service and a few days later there were 2 replacements in my mailbox at no charge. I found that the primer pick-up tubes from my Dillon 550 fit the RCBS tool perfectly and hold 100 primers which is a plus, I believe the original tubes from RCBS only held 50 primers. I don't think you will be disappointed if you buy the RCBS 09460. Good luck, Chip.
