[QUOTE="CA48, post: 1433657, member: 21446"] I used to go with the lee hand held years ago but had problems with it not fully seating primers on Rem Rum brass. For Cheytac size brass I use the Sinclair hand held which is an adjustable high quality seater but slow which is fine, loading high quality is not a fast process. For every thing else I use the Forster co-ax press. It's delivers a .004" crush but may vary depending on pocket depth. The important thing is with any brass brand it has been able to put a crush after the primer is seated. I have my hands all over primers while seating and have never noticed any ill affects from handling. You would really have to press hard to indent your finger into the primer material and transfer oils from your skin. I started off using latex gloves to seat primers but I have since quit using them. Then again it might have some small measurable affect if your looking to achieve benchrest accuracy idk. I have not noticed any while loading ammo for tactical matches or hunting but I also have not tested this directly. [/QUOTE]
