Fingering primers.

[Sixgun]

I'm about to buy a 21st century primer seater and all I can think about is having to finger up all the primers as the go in. It would be nice if they had a primer tray attached. Is it really that big of a deal? I guess you're really only touching the sides and not the charge. I could probably use surgical gloves or tweezers. What do you guys think? What do you do?

Touch them. It won't change a thing.

Rub your fingers in graphite/Redding dry lube if it bugs you to get the oils off

Or den alcohol, acetone, wear a dern glove...

...but mostly, it only matters if you are actively involved with a bacon cheeseburger.

Be concerned about other things.

The lube on your fingers touching bullets makes way more difference

Touching primers meens nothing.....

I use a Sinclair primer tool and touch every primer I use, what's the problem?

I’m also a big user of the Redding Dry Neck Lube. To be allowed back in the house I wear disposable rubber gloves most of the time reloading. Probably change the gloves hourly at the bench. This keeps the loaded round perfectly clean as the dry lube clings to the gloves.

You're worrying for nothing - just wipe you hand clean of any lube and you're good to go.

I've loaded thousands of rifle and pistol rounds using a Sinclair Priming Tool which requires handling each primer - never had a problem.

Don't change oil in your car while priming cases.

When I sort primers, I use a tweezers. Keeps me from fumbling primers.

Personally
I wash my grubby hands first, shake um in a rcbs tray and start pickin and seatin. Easy peezy

Gloves, gloves and more gloves. Every trip to Costco I buy me a few boxes of them. Virtually every stage of my reloading has me wearing gloves. The side benefit is that most things tend to corrode less too (like dies, calipers and other items) when you aren't spreading finger juice on them all the time.
