For real precision stuff, I would agree Sinclair is hard to beat. 17AckleyBee--I'm not sure what is harder on the eyes, your avatar or your tag line Last edited by Huntaria_Setters; 02/26/10.

I'm looking at a RCBS hand primer vs the primer attachment on my Rockchuker. I retired two Lee Auto prime tools a year ago, and bought two of Sinclair's priming tools. I think they are the best available. YMMV however. Don Buckbee JPFO NRA Benefactor Member NSSA Life Member

roundoak Campfire Outfitter Joined: Dec 2009 Posts: 10,653 Badger State	I have a RCBS priming tool, Lee original(circa 1974) priming tool and two Lee Auto Prime tools. I don't like the RCBS but my son does so it stays on the loading bench. Wore out the Lee "original" and bought a Lee Auto Prime, wore it out and bought another. Rebuilt the "original" and went back to using it. You're Welcome At My Fire Anytime

I use it for priming my BG loads only as I rarely have more than a hundred or so to do. I use a Lee Auto Prime for all my varmint loads as we're talking, literally, thousands of rounds. Makes the job alot easier......IMHO. Last edited by magnumb; 03/02/10.
