I received my PCPS today. Like the photos shown above by nettle, it is an extremely well made tool. I still have a few weeks before I can get it set up on my Zero press. I believe it will provide me with very precise primer seating with minimal effort to my arthritic hands. Even though I haven't seated a single primer yet, I think it is a very good value.

Like you I have the arthritis in both hands and both thumbs have been fused, I can still do small batches by hand but for larger batches I think this will be a good tool. Wish I had a zero press to put it on.

The shell holder is locked down. But the brass is not locked down to the shell holder.
I have had one for a very long time. It works very well. If you play around with the adjustment you can have great feel. As an aside for the priming by depth guys, if you were to combine it with one of the Forster lock rings that is marked in thousandths, you can have a set up that is adjustable for primer depth in thousandths. To do this you will want to put a piece of tape on the die threads, with a reference mark to use with the lock ring graduations, and set up the die so that the primer is fully seated with the press linkage is the stop. I have used mine to prime by feel, and with the proper adjustment I can feel when the primer touches the bottom of the pocket very well.Anyone use the RCBS Ram Priming Unit?

Ha, I liked your ashtray and thought I would kid you about it. My grandad had a collection of them. My favorite one was a dressed up man and woman walking down a street, when you turned the tray over he was giving her a little pinch.

I have used one, works great. It won't ever be as consistent or precise as the units like the Sinclair, though. Brass is dependent on the placement of the extractor groove relative to the case head. There can be variance there.Anyone use the RCBS Ram Priming Unit?
