Thread: Pruning tools

What’s everybody using the good and the bad please about had it with my rcbs universal use to love it absolutely hate it now.

My 3 year old just threw it across the kitchen he must have read my mind and decided to save me the trouble.

Cheers

Ah Priming tool. Had me baffled for a bit.
Have been using a Lee one for ages. Can be a bit cranky usually due to operator error. Waggling the case as you start to prime works wonders.
GPM.

I'm with GPM on this one. Mines the old round tray version.ive tried the new diamond one and it's even better with its little mechanism to make sure only one primer at a time.

I have a Lyman, it is OKish. Doesn't always seat proper and chews up a primer on occasion.

I curse it on occasion, but if you hold your tongue right it seems to behave.

Been using one of these for last few years,, well made, great to use....

I have a Lee square one minus the lid works just fine so long as you pay attention

I generally use a little Stihl with a 14" bar, it's probably overkill around the section in town but it's so quick and easy

I generally use loppers, not much good for putting primers in though, you could hit them in but it might defeat the purpose.

I don't know, get two sticks and a bit of leverage and some finessing, Might be the next best thing to someone coming up with like a, hand priming device. I'll bet they have them in Europe, fuckin trendsetters.

My bad bloody auto correct I obviously type pruning more than priming cheer all

I used the RCBS one at the club reloading room the other day, was ok but prefer my new-ish Lee Auto hand one - much easier to swap between the small and large rifle primers I thought too.

The diamond one I got didn't work as well as my old round tray Lee.
Since those round tray Lee priming tools went out of production, they have become quite expensive

Yea both my small rifle and larder rifle primer poxy plastic adapters are broken so the tray flys out given half a chance I have to prime with the tray jammed against my chest one hand on the brass to align it and one to squeeze not ideal my original lee was great RIP no idea what happened to it

This is what I use. I love this thing. Really speeds up priming,m performs consistently and retains good feel for when the primers bottom out in the pocket.
However, I've never attempted to trim a hedge with one of these. I'll study the instructions again just in case I missed that first time round but personally, I think it might be shit for yard work.

Has anyone tried the Smart Reloader priming tool?

Or the Lee Ram Prime?

Both are very inexpensive.
