What priming tool are you using with good success? In the past, I used the 21st Century Priming Tool, but I'm thinking it might be overkill for hunting ammo.

Used a Lee Auto Prime for years and wore it out.
Been using an RCBS hand primer for many years now. It's a bit funky to change shell holders but it only takes a few seconds. Thought about getting the model with a universal shell holder but you still have to change the primer feed system for small and large primers. The original one works and will certainly last the rest of my life so I figure no pressing need to change.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

I have Lee and RCBS. Lee is my favorite. I really do not like the RCBS, except the Lee won't accept 416 Rigby
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

I've been using a Lee Auto Prime for almost 30 years. A number of years ago, I developed a small flat spot on the link after priming well over 10,000 cases. Lee sent me a new link for the asking. It's still going strong and has now primed over 15,000 cases, both rifle and pistol.

Dillion 550. Works great.
