John,
I first got to handle your priming tool at the World Open last year at
Williamsport. I knew I had to have one after that and ordered one over
the winter. I shoot IBS 600 yd. Benchrest and started out the season
using the priming tool for all my benchrest loading. Last Saturday at
Piedmont Gun Club's May match I broke the Light Gun single target group
and single target score (pending) . The group measured .349" and the
score was 50. This cut the existing group record in half. there was a
lot of attention on the internet about the group and I fielded a lot of
questions and I was surprised that the question of how I primed my cases
never came up. Thinking back I'm kinda surprised . I'm thinking maybe
that one reloading step might be the most overlooked step in building
accurate benchrest loads. I'm not saying someone can start using your
priming tool and immediately start breaking records but when I shot that
group everything had to be perfect and I'm sure luck played some part.
I guess what I am saying is that you all make the finest priming tool
available (and I've tried them all) and I feel more confident in my
loads using it. Good work guy's !
If you are interested in reading and listening to the interview about
the group . Here is a link:

I came across this e-mail from another web site and was wondering if anyone else has noticed smaller groups with this stainless steel bench rest priming tool? Thought this was a wounderful message to send some one. how often does anyone get credit for helping another "even if you did pay for it"? What a good bunch of people this sport has within it. god bless and good shooting.

I have one of these tools myself & think it is the best I've ever seen, however I don't think the tool would make as much difference as how it is used. Rodney, obviously had his entire act together, so IMO the priming tool & how he used it, is just another part of a perfect recipe, at least on that particular day.

I was just wondering how many people use this tool or are plaining to get one.

+1 on Smokin Joe's post.

I've got one and think that it is just as fine as can be. Love it. And totally agree that it is how you use (or mis-use) equipment that will make or break the whole deal. JMHO. WD

I've had one just a short time and love it. A guy at my club had one and let me try it out before I spent the money, it is very smooth, very tight tolerances and the leverage it creates allows you to feel a primer bottom out. If you're going to it from a RCBS hand priming tool as I did, you'll also like it very much.
