The RCBS Hand Priming Tool (RCBS part no. 90200) seats primers quickly and, thanks to a patented safety mechanism, does so more safely than most alternatives on the market. That mechanism separates the seating operation from the primer supply, which virtually eliminates the possibility of tray detonation during use. The tool fits comfortably in hand for portable primer seating anywhere on the bench, and loading the primer tray requires no contact with the primers themselves. It uses the same RCBS shell holders made after 1980 that fit RCBS presses, and the durable cast-metal body includes both large and small primer plugs.
