The RCBS Hand Priming Tool not only seats primers quickly, a safety mechanism separates the seating operation from the primer supply to reduce the risk of tray detonation.
It fits in a reloader's hand for portable primer seating and primer tray installation requires no contact with the primers. The tool uses the same RCBS shell holders (post-1980) as RCBS presses. It's made of durable cast metal and includes large and small primer plugs.
FAQ's - Hand Priming Tool:
I have an older RCBS shell holder (Pre-1980). Why can't I use it with the hand priming tool?
- Shell holders made by RCBS prior to the 1980's will not have a deep enough chamfer to allow the shell holder to fit down on the feed and be installed in the tool. The older shell holders would be "too high". To use the hand priming tool, you will need new style shell holders, or you can consider the RCBS Universal Hand Priming Tool which does not require shell holders.
Can I use a shell holder made by a different reloading equipment company with the RCBS hand priming tool?
- We recommend RCBS shell holders for the best performance with this hand priming tool, or any RCBS tool. Lyman and Lee shell holders will not fit this tool, as they do not have the proper chamfer to allow the holder and feed to be installed in the hand priming tool. Shell holders from Hornady or Redding may work with this tool.
