[QUOTE="Douglas A. Twitty, post: 2071766, member: 102215"] I was so surprised to see the topic of this thread because “yes” my hands hurt while and after the priming step of loading. I’m 69 yes old and I’m sure it’s arthritis that’s causing the pain. I use a hand held Lyman priming tool and the palm of my hand will be hurting after 15 - 20 primers. I load for rifles mostly, .30/06, 270 Winchester, 260 Remington, and 7mm stw. I start a primer into the pocket, and usually have to turn the priming tool 180 in my hand and squeeze the handle as hard as I can. Most of the time I’ll have to rotate the tool in my hand back 180 degrees and use both hands to finally get the primer seated! Turns into work! And my hand will be sore for sometimes as long as 3 or 4 days afterwards. Guess I need to shop around for something else, huh? Thanks for the posts! [/QUOTE]
