Poorman's PCPS Precision Priming die​

this thing is sweet . yes it was $200. that part still hurts

 

[jpjulian]

mine doesn't, just adjust the die up a little...

I did just that, just high enough to clear but still low enough to adjust if needed. Thanks.

what ?? i thought it was $600! win win for me. now if i can just unload the other primer putteriners i will never use again

this is the tool I chose, there are several on the market that will do a good job. I was amazed how much variance there was in my priming depth, I have loaded on a bench priming tool for 20 years, and always felt it hit bottom, or so I thought, and after putting them into a box, I would feel that all primers were below the case head. and they were. As the measuring tool proved, my feel sucks!!!
I'm curious how many people that seat by feel, which would be pressure not depth, if they had a good tool and measured they might be amazed as I was.
Ignorance was bliss in my case.

i do wish the recess the brass sets into was deeper.... hours latter ... i do have a lathe ,oh the wheels are turning now

Mines been working like a champ! So much easier than squeezing by hand, haha

I 3-d printed a holder for it, if you have access to a printer. site wont let me upload it, pm an email and I can send it.

for anyone interested I will probably be parting with my pcps(s), i love them, but no different than the primal rights tool that i already have, and this point im just kinda used to using it. shoot me a pm if you are interested.

I looked at the PCPS video. Any time I want to do priming, that would be a lot of work just to set up.
The comment about the sloppiness of the primer tube I thought was silly -- they both are pretty sloppy.
I have found my Dillon primer tubes are very loose in my CPS. Never had a problem. Hornady tubes are much more snug.
I found the force of the ram on the CPS is so great, I can imprint on the primer, if I had micro machining available.

Anyone know anything about the upcoming Forster adapters from Derraco ?

1. We will make adapter accessories for PCPS to be used on Forster COAX. This project will finish in 2 months.

For those shell holder-calibers not offered by Derraco, does anyone know if the Sinclair International precision shell holders (Lee-footprint) will fit the PCPS?

Want to upgrade from a RCBS Bench mounted tool. Learned to cry once and get the best you can get. What do you use and why??.

Thanks

I have the K&N, the Primal Rights and the C21. I think it depends on what you want for accuracy vs speed and ergonomics. In my opinion, the K&N is most accurate but not too comfortable to use. The PR is fastest, but not as accurate. The C21 is slower than a PR but more accurate and comfortable. Boyd Allen mentions the Sinclair unit with the screw down top and is probably extremely accurate and looks very ergonomic, but I don't own one. I use the C21 and it is my favorite.

I agree Wayne, I use the 21st Century (I have 2, one for 6PPC and the other for BR) the only problem is arthritis in my hands and squeezing that booger is getting harder! I've had and sold the RCBS bench mount, didn't like the time it took to load the tube but may have to revisit or find a half priced deal on a primal rights primer!!

Well, a revisit is in order, priming some brass Friday and my fingers started cramping and drawing up, had to stop priming, work with my hands to get the cramps out (can't do anything with the arthritis) and back at it, 3 or 4 pieces later hands cramping and fingers drawing up, may have to look for the primal rights, looking under the cushions of the couch!

I could have written your post. I did the same thing, there was a Primal Rights up for sale here with some accessories a few years back and I did a quick scope sale along with an " I'll Take It ". My arthritic hands thanked me.....
