    Hand prime. Way faster, can feel better and don’t have to touch the primers. (I have a big boss and use a Hornsby hand primer)

    Hand prime, originally with a Lee primer that came with my kit.
    When that wore out replaced it with a Lyman hand primer.

    When I prime I put the primed case neck down in a tray for an extra visual check
    that they are 1) primed, 2) the primer is seated correctly. Better safe than sorry.

    I do the same, and also run my finger over the base of the case as I move it from priming tool to the reloading block.

    I was looking at a 21st century hand priming tool but very pricey

    That’s what I use, super smooth feel to it and a really nice bit of kit.
