RCBS Bench Primer w Holland Upgrade vs Primal Rights $600.00 Tool

[Bc'z]

Yeah, I’m not exactly with you on this but that’s ok .. we don’t have to agree

I'm with you on this.

You can but I am not touching every primer to set in the tool. When I can load up a dillon tube and go.

What is your time worth? If I can buy faster and more accurate. I'll do that.

My time is worth...Nothing. I'm retired. I have, to date, not developed any problems with touching primers. It must be the gloves I wear while priming.

I am not saying you have problems with contamination of the primers. I am saying you have to physically touch them as in the act of doing it.

@SPJ

Are you using the case rim that varies from case to case to measure depth of your primer pockets. And the making sure each picket is parrallel with the case rim and the exact depth. And then sorting your cases based on rim thickness.

Then measuring each primer cup and anvil arms. Then sorting them into batches to them seating them.

Remember pockets do change on every firing.


As I will refer to Bryan Litz own words thru lavatory testing. That primer depths have no statistical value.

But what was significant was primer to powder burn rate match.

there are ways to seat primers using the bottom of the primer pocket as a datum instead of the case rim.

So, what is more important? The consistent distance for firing pin contact, or floor thickness/flash hole ignition? My primary interest is for competition ammo. Can someone spell it out for me in crayon?

Wondering if RCBS would supply overlength plungers for the bench tool, would sure solve a lot of issues. .010, . 005, over would be good enough to be able to modfy to length.

The rcbs bench tool doesn't require overlength plungers..just keep pushing if you want them deeper..do you have a way to measure primer seat depth from case head? Do you have a way to measure primer seat depth from bottom of primer pocket? Consistency is the key..about .005 past anvil contact...
