Priming tool recommendations

[danny]

My hands are so beat up and arthritic there is no way I could handle every primer and seat then one at a time. I have an RCBS hand primer tool and I don't like it, somehow or another it will get 2 or sometimes 3 primers in line and you have to dismantle the tool and start over. I also have an older Lee hand tool, but I have never used it as I have no shell holders. I noticed that Hornaday makes a hand seater with a tray similar to my RCBS. Has anyone one used the Hornaday version???? I would buy one in a heartbeat if they are known to be better than the RCBS and Lee.

Perhaps you might want to try the Lee bench mounted priming unit. It might be easier on your hands.

By what you stated above and to get very precise priming you may want to take a look at this. PCPS/Derraco priming tools

My arthritic hands and I love my RCBS benchtop priming tool.

RCBS bench priming tool and an early 90s Sinclair hand priming tool for when I want to be picky.

Lee is good and might be less expensive to buy shell holders for it than a new RCBS or other unit.

I have a lee priming tool set that I seems to work well with large primers, but when set for small primers doesn’t work nearly as well plus I would like to avoid swapping from large to small and keep one setup for each. What priming tools work well i genearal but especially with small primers?
