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.

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.

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.

2 RCBS, one for small and one for large.

Original Lee hand primer. rebuilt it a couple of times then thru it in a drawer as a reserve when I purchased a Lee Auto Prime. Picked up a couple more Auto Primes on Ebay for just in case. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/YOOUPGz.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/Gj5FuRq.jpg)
