Ok but badly let down by plastic parts
A solid product badly let down by rubbish plastic primer feeds.
The plastic primer feed on my brand new RCBS split whilst trying to fit the tray.
It seems the same with other hand primers. . . the manufacturer tries to save a few pennies by using substandard plastic parts.

RCBS Universal Hand Primer
Brand new to reloading. I I purchased this item to prime all of my cases off the press. After a couple of tries, I figured out that the lever has to be fully depressed to successfully prime your cases. I primed 1000 cases in a little over an hour. I'm very happy with this purchase and look forward to many years of use from it. Keep it oiled and it works flawlessly.

universal hand priming tool
does a good job and easy to use. The only fault is it will not do 45 long colt and 45 auto rim brass. brass will fly out when trying to prime these cases. need to use old style RCBS priming tool that uses a shell holder. perhapes RCBS can have a set of jaws that can be changed to work. east task to perform.

Tried the small primer setup
Tried the small primer setup and had some issues with the primer turning in the device and being seated sideways. Not real happy with that so I'm seeing what alternatives I might have

Not a good product
I love all my RCBS equipment. However, I do not think this product is up to par. 9mm cases pop out of the universal shell holder, primer not nearly seated. Have to hold the case to avoid this. I fear that 380 will be worse. Maybe larger cases will work better? I am in search of a better solution

That is the second hand
That is the second hand priming tool I have. Bout have the first one wore out. It's a great tool easy to use. And works good every time u want to use it. The only issue I have with them is on the quick change to put in the big 378 cases. Just not quite as smooth as the smaller.

Great universal priming tool
This is to replace my Lee Precision priming tool and it's a good choice for quality and ease of use .

Hand primer review
Very easy to use and make the primer install process go so much easier and also frees up the press for other duties.

It does it all
Everything from 5.7mm to 30-06 and then some. Swapping the push pin is quite easy to do, even in the middle of processing .45 acp that has a mix of large and small primer pockets. Using this and the brass boss by RCBS I have never had an issue installing a primer.

I have used this for
I have used this for decades. I just ordered this as a spare. It has always placed the primers exactly at the correct depth. I have never had a primer back out of the hole. Even in new brass this places the primer with minimal effort. The grip is the perfect size for proper depth placement. My hands do not get sore after loading several hundred consecutively. I will continue to use RCBS equipment whenever possible. I also appreciate the discount given to veterans.

Leisure time
Convenient to be able to sit in my living room and prime casing at my leisure. Also being able to change calibers quickly even if it going from larger primers to small for related caliber size change requires just minor conversion.

Should have bought years ago
It fits and feels good in your hand. Getting up in the years and the hands don't always work like they should but with this I can still keep going.

Well made, I like that
Well made, I like that you don't need to purchase individual shell holders and you can do priming while not at the bench with the press. Well designed to avoid contamination of primers. This is my 2nd tool because changing from large to small primer configuration is not hard, but a bit inconvenient, so the answer is own two tools and leave one set up for large and one for small primers....so I have two, and All is right in the reloading world.

UNIVERSAL HAND PRIMING TOOL
Been reloading 40+ years and decided to replace my old Lee tool, which is no longer available, before I broke it... The RCBS unit is Great Tool. Had an issue when it first arrived, unit would not prime a 9MM case., the cases just "popped out" along with the primer. Contacted RCBS Customer Support who promptly sent me a replacement head/shell holder assembly (secured as a unit with a rubber band). Glad they did, instead of just a set of new jaws. The rubber band made replacing the head very easy. NOTE: Replacing just a set of jaws is not for the faint of heart... Anyway, unit will now prime 9MM/.380 cases with NO issues, Cannot say enough good about RCBS Customer support after the sale.
