Hand primers

Hand priming tools

A priming tool separated from the press allows you to better feel the primer seating and control its depth. The collection includes hand priming tools from Lee Precision, RCBS, Lyman, and Hornady, RCBS bench priming tools, and the Forster Co-Ax Primer Seater, as well as trays and adapters.

How to choose

• Shellholder: some priming tools use dedicated shellholders, others use universal systems.
• Handheld or bench-mounted: the handheld tool is practical and portable, the bench-mounted one is more comfortable for large quantities.
• Primers: check the components for small and large primers.
