RCBS hand primer

[misser]

am I the only one having problems getting remmington 9 1/2 primers to feed through it ? no problems with CCI or fed's . I have 2 RCBS hand primers both have the same problem .

Not sure...but I used car wax on my trays. Rubbed it on and buffed it clean, like a car. Slicked the trays up nicely. FWIW

no

No problems whatsoever here, but then I don't own one.
Slick the tray up with wax as G&GS says, I do this on my Dillon primer trays and it works.

Maybe they changed the design but 10 years ago I gave up on RCBS hand primers - they were made of "pot metal" and constantly developing fatigue cracks. RCBS, being such a good customer service company, readily replaced mine so it's hard to find fault with the company.

However I got tired of going through this time consuming process of replacing them so I purchased a Sinclair Hand Priming tool. albeit expensive, but has worked flawlessly for over 10 years loading thousands of rifle and pistol rounds.

Rcbs makes a lot of good tools. This isn’t one of them. Move on to something better. You won’t look back.

I have two of the RCBS Universal Hand Priming tools and have never had a problem with any primers - any brand, large or small primer. They look fairly similar to the Hand Primer, but I don't know if there are differences in the feed area or trays.

Check the plastic insert for wear. If you call RCBS they will send you a new set. I was having issue, also with Rem primers, and this fixed it. The Remington primers seem to have a sharper edge than the CCI.

The Rem primers seem tighter in every tool I ever used, some easier than others.

Exactly, disassemble the plastic part and clean the crud and lightly polish and chamfer the sharp edges with 400 grit sand paper. I have two RCBS universal priming tools that are used for priming new cases with spent primers in preparation for hydroforming. Each has primed tens of thousands of cases.

Better tools are available
