What is Your Preferred Hand-Priming Tool?

RCBS Universal Priming Tool. You can do it while watching TV. Just make sure, primers are not upside down before proceeding.

Just got a RCBS Rockchucker Press, but I'm not at all enamoured with the priming system. What have you guys found is your preferred hand-primer and why?

I like mine too, but I would recommend keeping an eye on it as I've had some primers feed sideways.

Another vote for RCBS, once you get the feel for it things move quickly.

I have the older RCBS(didn`t know there was a new one) and it works very well, I can`t imagine handling primers one by one on a press type machine, I wish I had that kind of time on my hands. With the RCBS hand primer I can easily prime 100 brass in 5 minutes.

it too like the rcbs, if loading crimped military ammo I can use the forster coax priming setup without having to decrimp, it lines the brass and primer up that straight.

I tried the lee ergo prime, but it gets hard on hands when doing large batches.
I prefer to prime on the downstroke using the priming system on the lee single stage press. fast, easy, you feel the primers seating so you can gauge each primer, plus it never gets tiring because you are on a press.
I did 400 223 rounds on the single stage press and it's like butter.

I've been using the RCBS hand priming tool for over 20 years and love it..

My ram does fall out if tipped upside down and I hate having to disassemble to change shell holder for different caliber, aside from that perfect.
