Alot of Whiners on here for sure, if you dont wanna spend the money then by all means keep hand priming your cases. This is the best and easiest to use priming tool on the market to date. No more pain in your hands from the hand primers. This thing is built like a tank and should no doubt last damn near forever.

A seated primer is a seated primer. Anyone that tells you different is full of it.

@@hellyeah3871 false. The primer creates your combustion and consistent seating depth of that primer will aid consistent combustion. Is this necessary for common reloaders? Nope. If you’re chasing to get the most out of your handloads and competing, certainly. You can also use this to tune your loads a bit by changing the primers seating depth.

Cant justify spending more on that than on my rcbs press, or my pistol with holster, or my annual car insurance.

Really enjoyed this video! Thank you for taking the time to create it.. Just received my new CPS and am installing it today. This will be replacing my old RCBS unit which worked fine - but was a little clunky and I had to rely on feel versious a positive stop setting. I prefer to buy the best tools possible and this unit is certainly not cheap. However I feel it was worth the cost. Should work well next to my 419 Zero press. Cheers from Leeds, Alabama!

[@cs_yt]

I understand all the mechanics, but without a practical test showing the benefits I cannot determine if the investment is worth in results. I normally use a Lee bench primer($70) that primes at a similar speed and never gives me any trouble. You have to pull something really special to convince me that I need this seater.

[@christoph8333]

+1 for the Lee Bench Primer. It is faster with the tray plus it is safer and does not take up much space when stored and not used.

[@timmartin6410]

Awesome piece of equipment, but for 99% of us who reload we can't afford to pop for one of these primer seaters. We'd be happy just to find primers these days.

[@MrCclimeGo]

I didn't think much of it at first, but after watching the podcast that Erik Cortina did with Greg, and having used the Frankfurt Arsenal adjustable hand priming tool, I was impressed. And honestly; the price is still high for me but as Greg says; it's not the most expensive thing I've bought for reloading. It falls pretty much in the middle of the pack. There's also the fact that the hand primer; while adjustable, has left me with a crooked primer in the pocket and after the fatigue sets in, quite a few primers that I had to double squeeze to get the depth I wanted. All in all; I'm sure it's worth it. I should have one soon 🤙

I’ve owned a great deal of primer seaters. Started out with hand tools and moved into the press units etc. I now own a couple of the PR seaters. Yes is expensive. And I noticed my most recent unit I purchased was slightly sloppy fit over all. And still, worth the money. If you’re loading 100 rounds here and there it’s probably not worth it to you . But to us they are invaluable. But we load allot of ammo. I’d like to see other companies take on this design and produce a more cost effective version.

Frankford arsenal makes a depth adjustable primer seating tool for $70!

[@johnholmes4960]

Looks nice, too many loose parts, it only does one thing. I like the adjustable stop that is “click calibrated” one click is one thousandth. It’s a lot of money for something that does only one thing. For me personally, the bridge or “D” style, like RCBS and others of the same design are as equal in available push in power from the levers mechanical advantage. There are a ton of cool gadgets out there that do the same thing. Even though this gadget is sexy cool, .....for me personally I am not getting enough for my money. It’s not the cost. It is not giving me enough. But, it’s your money, spend it safely.

i noticed youre using two plywood pieces to hold onto the T-tracks. my question is if you can explain a bit more about how you put this together? specifically, are the two pieces glued to one another and are there any bolts in there to hold it together and if so, is there a way to see the bottom of that to know if you did a countersink and what length bolts are in there?

This auto loader primer press looks awesome, but I don’t shoot that many rounds and the price for me wouldn’t be appropriate. So my question is what would be an affordable auto primer press? I did notice a review on the RCBS 9460 Automatic Priming Tool, looked impressive, what’s your thoughts? I have a “very old” RCBS Rock Chucker Kit. (like new in the box) I’ve only reloaded 20 rounds of 45 ACP and 20 rounds of 44 mag. I also need a way to clean my brass. Your video's are very imformative. Your the only one I trust. Thanks

[@jessdigs]

Lee hand primer for the win

[@jasongross4124]

Lol. How does this $600 tool accommodate the manufacturing tolerances built into the primers themselves not to mention the cases you are installing them into? If you seat six primers that are one overall height and then the next two are. 001" taller, does the tool just mash them down more? What if the primer after that is. 001" shorter than the first six but the lathe cut the rim on that case .0005" thinner? If you want your $600 worth of precision out of this tool it pretty much demands that you are sorting your primers by height and weight along with sorting your brass to make sure that you segregate any cases with variations in primer pocket to extractor groove to shoulder dimensions so that the primer will always have the same amount of insertion in the pocket and always be the same location in the chamber waiting for the firing pin. On the other hand, if all that is reasonably required is to repeatably squish the primers down to some set dimension away from the front of the rim just like this tool does any ram prime unit will do that for like $25 with $575 left over to buy a brand new press to screw it into and beverages to drink while you do it. The Lee Auto Prime 2 will even do it while feeding primers so that you don't have to handle them one at a time if you can find one on eBay.

[@tmalonso]

It would be awesome to see a real world accuracy comparison if you kept everything else the same but just swapped out primer seating methods...particularly curious to see if there were any appreciable differences between primers bottomed out by feel in the RCBS hand priming tool (the one that accepts specific shellholders) VS primers seated to a certain 'set depth' in the Primal VS primers bottomed out by feel in the Primal... my theory is every once in a while you'll run into a primer pocket that is slightly deeper than the rest, which could result in a shallow seated primer for the Primal using the 'set depth'...if that holds true I would also presume the differences in performance between the bottomed out primers whether from the RCBS hand primer or the Primal would be negligible. I don't reload anything precise enough to do a test like this, and I only have the RCBS hand priming tool, otherwise I'd try to compare for myself :)

I'd love to see a shooting test comparing loads assembled with this precision primer seater vs. loads using the primer seater on the Dillon 750 (the test might consist of something like 5 groups of 5 shots each at medium-to-long range). I'd love to see the same kind of test comparing loads assembled using the 750 powder measure vs. those using a high-end precision scale (like the FX 120i). Given the rifle, brass, bullets, and shooter are all high-precision, I wonder how much difference the use of these tools would make in the shooting results.

If it were able to produce primers out of thin air before seating the primers, I would say "I'll take 2 of em'", if not it's hard to seat primers that are invisible since they don't EXIST!

[@MikeMcCasland27]

I've got one, and probably primed 10,000 cases on it since I've had it. Is it worth it? Probably not. It's super well built, and very precise, but that generally doesn't show up on target. I've found it slower than my old RCBS and FA hand primers, with the added delay of having to use a primer tube. That said, it doesn't deform primers, misfeed, or have any of the occasional drama of a hand primer setup. Lastly, be wary about all the talk of "primer depth consistency". If you're not uniforming pockets to a measured depth, then it's all a moot point. I'll keep using mine, if only to feel better about the ~$600 it cost lol, but I wouldn't feel like I was disadvantaged by using my hand primers again.

[@wildcat_reloading]

Thats pretty much it when it comes to most of the, lets say, advanced products ans methods If you dont uniform the primers pocket the. This doesn't work to its potential If you dont measure and turn the necks on cases then a bussing die cant work to it's full potential If you dont anneal then it gets difficult to consistently bump the shoulder the exact amount

It's all hand primers. :) I'm not saying I don't like the tool. I think it's awesome, but it's not "necessary" to shoot top scores consistently.

[@wildcat_reloading]

@@MikeMcCasland27 yea i think the word necessary is the key, because the more you get into the sport i guess you start to see more what matters and how mutch tolerance you can alow, basically like finding a velocity plato, it's a comfy place where you can be more tolerate on charge weight change without it affecting velocity to much and interne alows the f class guys to use progressive presses that leads to more time behind the gun and less time reloading

[@stevecorscadden8816]

I have had one for about a year. Works great as is. Priming is fast, precise, and safe. I have spent more and got less.

Back in the day when 1k large rifle primers was 500

[@Alen725]

Its not faster or more precise than anything else. It requires separate shellholders. Its just inferior to the competition. So why its so expensive? Another shooter on local range showed me that seater when I was considering buying something after my old one started having problems. I seriously though its going to be a budget alternative to Forster or RCBS table seaters but its like twice as expensive as both of them combined. Pathetic.

For $600 I would expect more quality..... You can see that thing moving around every time it gets used .. looks pretty sloppy in a lot of ways. The primer tubes don't look like they fit well, the primer shuttle looks a little cheesy as well. Base seems to allow flex for an operation that shouldn't take much force. I just finished some primer depth seating tests (actually concentrating more on primer anvil compression) and it won't turn standard precision loads into BR records. You can watch the videos from Witch Doctor and see what effects it has for him on his BR testing and while minimal it can improve, but it's not likely to be a universal setting for every primer type, cartridge or load. It's just one aspect of thousands to manage... and I can manage it for a whole lot less.

I started to buy one...Until I used my friends..No way is it worth 600 bucks.Its no more than a Franjfurd Arsenal style bolted on a bench. NO ONE BIT BETTER TGAN TGE FIRSTER PRIMING TOO.

[@Aldocello1]

So competitions and records have been won/set with something as primal as the primer on your press , hand primers , cheaper bench primers.....500/600 dollars hahahahaha not even worth a thought !!!!

[@paulmartin6152]

Real problem requiring the purchase of Lee shell holders. Most shooters use RCBS. Other deal breaker is $$$$$$ Sorry too rich for my needs.

[@trevorteague8430]

Obscene waste of money. Does that press a primer into it's pocket $600 worth better than my LnL or Lee Challenger? I think not. That's nothing more than a gimmick for those with more dollars than sense.

[@crvnmrhd]

I can appreciate the work and thought that went into this unit, but it doesn't do anything the K&M Seater does at 1/4 of the price, and you have to mount it.

[@mtnshooter2487]

And at $ 730.00 henderson precssion makes a powered trimmer so , you can spend your money and take your choice too much for my blood..

[@johnnybarbar7435]

Gonna have to stick with my $1.99 Lee Auto-Prime but, thanks for showing us how the big boys do it. LOL

[@GotYo6]

Please say something bad for once! The price is stoopid and looks mushy when he pulls the handle!

[@GarrettHamilton]

Yeah no thanks! 21st century for me.

[@matts2581]

A simple cam tool for $600? Somebody is taking people unrespectfully for a ride. :\

[@ALL44MAG]

better than automatic RCBS primer tool?

[@Chuck_Carolina]

$650 dollars to get the kids involved in reloading?

[@gunnrwallace6323]

I’d like to see some groups on paper
