.I don't understand this comment and I have to give you the benefit of the doubt. But how in hell is this going to let off a whole tray ?![]()
I've never used that one ,, but I can see from the design, how the outer shield would direct the explosion back towards the tray.
I have been using the RCBS version pictured above, But now have serious doubts about putting another primer in it. . I often sit on the couch, listen to the radio, and prime cases with the dogs at my feet. When I first started reloading years ago, I had some .223 cases that would be especially tough to seat primers in, and shamefully admit, I just squeezed a little harder.
Now that I have evolved a little, in my case prep procedure, I do not have any issues with hard seating, and if I feel like it's hanging up at all, I disassemble the tool, and remove the case in question ..
That being said, there has to be thousands of these RCBS style in use currently, Is anyone aware of their design setting off the tray ? It seems like since it faces away from the tray, It would be safer, but if I remember correctly, it drops the next primer into the slot below the guide rod, on the upstroke when pushing in, which I could see getting struck by the guide rod, and then you have (2) primers going off, .
