    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.

    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.

    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.
