Anyone's hands get sore after priming brass?

[Blackhawk]

What do you use to prime your brass?
How many rounds at a time?
How old are your hands LOL?

I use the Frankfort Arsenal Perfect Seater Hand Priming Tool.

Sure it costs a few bucks more but it allows full control over primer seating depth.
This is very important as it's few tools allow full control over the primer seating depth.
Did I mention that it is extremely fast .with reliable results.
Additionally it is comfortable as well as easy on your hands.
I suggest if you are in need of a reliable primer seating tool please check out the Frankford Arsenal's Perfect Seater Tool .((check out the on line information as well as videos on U Tube)

I'd like to hear about it.

After torquing 8 bolts to 221LBFT at work I don't think priming brass will make a difference.At age 61 every thing I do makes me sore . But for the record I use a hand held primer tool that is worn out and haven't noticed my hand being sore

I live alone during the week, so I have a strong grip. Hand never gets tired or sore. Did I mention that I am a mechanic, that's why the strong grip.

Me too

That was what I was after. Thank you @MagnumManiac.

I have a brand new Competition Primer Seater sitting here with your name on it. No charge. You'll never buy (or want to use) another priming tool as long as you live. Just PM me your real name, then put an order in for a CPS on our website. You'll check out for the full amount, but you will not be charged. In the comments section during checkout... reference this post and I'll see that you do not pay a cent. I hope this helps set the tone for you in 2021.

Happy New Year!

My hands only got sore when I was using an old, rough, stiff hand primer for my hunting loads while up north. I did not have access to my Dillon 550 and had to use what my boss had available.

I have Lee priming tool like the RCBS and that tray handles 100 primers. That is about all i can stand at one time. Just noticed at Midsouth supply Lee has new one that looks more like a reloading press. did not find at Midway or Grafs.

I hope Magnum gives us a good write-up on his new tool after he uses it for a whille.

Easy on the "OLD PART KID!" I " RESEMBLE" that remark! Lmao ( and my old hands are tougher than Shoe leather! Just depends on what you do with them .....like a fella that might spend his time putting on Baby Lotion...so his hands stay Soft.....before priming)

 

[grinnergetter]

Copy that, i was thinking of Dillon style although mine will toss a few now and then.

Anyone's hands get sore after priming brass?

I'd like to hear about it.

I Used the RCBS hand primer to seat nearly 1500 .45 cal primers and learned that at age 69 this was a really bad idea. Hand therapy came a couple of weeks later. If I am doing 100-150 rounds I take my time and never have a problem, but if I was gonna do a huge number again I would buy a different tool.

Yes, especially with hand priming a bunch of .408 brass.

I don't get sore, but I get mad enough to punch a puppy when I prime .50 BMG because my worthless Dillon priming die wont consistently seat the RWS primers to .018.
