Google search "primer proximity detonation" and you will go back to using the single primer arm on your reloading press.

I second that.....
Hand primer? That is not a question that you should ask in front of someone of my advanced years. Its an embarrassing topic, and strictly between my wife and me.
Do you have to individually place each primer in the 21st century tool?
Yeah I have heard of some nasty happenings with these things. I've just updated my press and didn't get the priming arm and was going to retire my old turret press but probably could still use the arm on that.Quote:

Like me....crude but effective:omg:
Another yes vote for 21st Century. Superior to the Sinclair in its ease to adjust seating depth.Quote:

That looks like my old Lee handloading kit :thumbsup:Quote:

I like my Forster Co-ax hand primer. Mixed reviews online but I have had very little trouble and it works for me
Lee auto-prime (or the RCBS one).

The tray holds 100 primers and the tool is fast, simple and easy to use. You need to buy the case holder for each case head size (just like other hand primers).
Some plastic parts might wear out about after 6-7000 rounds like mine did, but I just brought another. Never had any major problems but I did use a rubber band to keep the lid on the tray after a while.
