Hand prime or the tube fed primer.

[Hamonrye]

I am using a tube fed primer unit on my T-7 and was speaking the other day to a dealer and when I told him how I primed my cases he acted like I had some nasty disease. All he could go on about is how dangerous the tube fed primer tools are. If they are so dangerous why do they make them? I understand the need to feel the primer seat and I can do that on my T-7.

I have actually decided that from now on, I'm probably going to use my RCBS hand primer instead of the primer feed on my Loadmaster. I loaded up 100 .45 rounds the other day, and the primers weren't fully seated. Turns out, my dies were off just a bit, but...well. Every progressive press seems to have a primer loading weakness, so for safety and consistancy, I am just going to hand prime from now on, me thinks.

And, it's kinda nice to sit here and prime brass while surfing THR...

I've put more than a few primers through tube fed primer devices without a problem, and I'll continue. I have a hand primer and have used it some, but I won't get rid of the tube fed. Wear your PPE, and use it. When they blow it is nasty, but on a good design it goes straight up and straight down.

Tube fed, I've been using the RCBS rock chucker since I started reloading almost 15 years ago. I've never had a problem with seating primers.

i like the forster seater because the primers are stacked on their sides in the tube, rather than laying down. if a primer blows for whatever reason, it's not going to set off every other primer in the stack.

Actually, I prefer to use the Lee AutoPrime on a single-stage press.

You need an "other" option for us oddballs who use the RCBS strips. For small batches of rifle brass I use the hand primer.
