Change the name to Tactical Primer Seater. They will fly off the shelf.

Been installing primers with the press mounted primer system that was on the very old RCBS A-2 Rock-chucker I bought second hand years ago . Funny thing . Every primer is seated to bottom , and never had primer issues I know of . At what point will we ever quit attempting to re-invent the wheel ?

Grimstod is correct . It is a beautifully machined piece . But $600.00 dollars ? Let’s see…8 pounds of 4350 , 200 Lapua cases , several hundred 200.20x Berger’s .. and don’t forget to throw in some primers .Yup ! Sounds about right

$600 bucks, another insanely overpriced
item of the hobby we engage in. Come on,
$1200 front rests, $3000, and up, scopes, where does it stop?

How much of a difference in group size does this actually make?

In this day of high speed CNC mills and lathes their is probably less than 50.00 in each unit to manufacture. Not sure how they come up with a 600.00 price tag. Another April fools day in the middle of May. Lol.

Remember when the old Lee auto prime came out for $11.00? Best priming tool since sliced bread. I have three on my bench for daily use and still have three of them new in the boxes. I would not trade them for this tool.

K&M is all I need.

I was not convinced of this, until now.

Ok I am really tempted to bash along with everyone else. REALLY TEMPTED. But I will give them this much, that is a really nicely machined piece of equipment. No tool marks whatsoever. Very nice. That said I will stick with my Lee Auto Prim hand tool for $20. It gives me a good feel. I tried seating primers to a measured depth but it is not as good as the feel method, period.

$600?!?!, well maybe if it came with 30,000 primers I could hand out the cash. Otherwise its really overpriced. Now I know it probably costs that much to make, but does it really fulfill a need to justify that cost? I think not.
