If you have the money, the Primal Rights desktop priming tool is the best that can be had.

That may very well be true. But $600.00 for a priming tool... :)) :)) :)) :)) :))

It probably makes sense if your livelihood is directly tied to loading ammo, or if you're a perfectionist and have stupid-money to spend on your hobbies...but outside of those two circumstances it doesn't even warrant consideration.

I have the Lee and the RCBS hand primers. Neither are perfect, or even optimal, but both work perfectly well for someone shooing 6~12-thousand rounds a year. Cleaning the entire assembly every thousand cycles makes it run a LOT smoother, btw.

I use a RCBS priming tool as well.  If I had money falling out of my backside, I would have the PR tool. Sadly, I am just an average Joe, living from paycheck to paycheck.

I only see it for those that have the money to pay for precision (that probably doesn't matter).  If loading ammo is your business, this is going to be way too slow.

So am I the only one who primes on the press?

I prime on press when loading progressive on my 550 or 1050.  If I am running single stage I prime using an RCBS hand prime or a Lee Auto-Prime XL.

I haven't use my presses for priming in over 20 years unless it is only one or two cases.  I keep all my brass primed ready to load.  That is the best way for me to keep what my primer inventory needs.

I finished sizing and priming 100 350 Legend cases.

Resized some 270g cast to .356 for 350 Subs.

I have a couple hundred pcs of 43 & 45 Colt brass in the corn Cob tumblers.

I prime on my Rockchucker if loading single stage, the auto primer tube work great.

I have a RCBS hand primer, RCBS first gen bench primer as well as the current RCBS bench primer.



The first gen RCBS works great with Berdan primers when I load brass or steel case 7.62x39.

I use the primer stations on the SDB's and 550's when loading progressively.

I haven't used my single stage presses in years. When I got the 650 I pretty much forgot about them.

I use the RCBS Rock Chucker Priming assembly. It works pretty well. Occasionally lose a primer during use so now have a piece of carpet under the press, they don't bounce / roll so much.

Forster bench top priming tool.

I get along fine with it once you used to setting it up.  Actually like it quite a bit.

Like my Rock Chucker Priming set up as well

My RCBS and my Lyman are both crap, my Lee hand held has not given me a bit trouble
