Using an RCBS bench mounted priming tool. I like it well enough that I’m not looking for anything else.

I'm still using two 1st generation Lee Auto Primes that I cobbled together, but a friend has a Lyman that I really like.

(I also have a Hornady that I do not much care for)

That's what I'm using these days. I had a chrome Lee and a new red Lee unit both crack and split at the shellholder. Tired of fooling with those.

Lee Ram Prime.
I like the feel of priming on a press, but don’t care for the little primer arm thingy that came with my Boss. I don’t watch much TV so never saw the point of a hand primer, and with my attention / distraction span I need to treat each operation with care.

RCBS Hand Primer.
Fast, accurate, and well built.
Thousands and thousands and thousands of rounds thru mine. Never, not even once, any kind of problem.

A Lee Auto-prime for range loading. I tried an RCBS hand primer but after about 6 months it self distructed. Rivets came loose & it fell apart.

For home use I got the bench mount RCBS with primer feed that so many above use & have used nothing else since. It just keeps working. With WLRs ...sometimes... the last primer or two in the tube doesn't feed right if not used slowly. All is clean lubed & tight. It just happens once in a while if I'm working it fast.

Still using the Lee Auto Prime I got in the 1980s. Haven't had to use the spare I got back then. I like having a good feel for how tight the primer pocket is when priming brass.

RCBS Universal hand priming tool. Can't imagine thinking anything could work better.

For cheap and no hurry a Lee Ram Prime works fine.

Tried Lee's hand tool and thought it utter junk.
