Well as a fellow machinist I can appreciate a simple stout American made product. Also I have been cutting 2 1/4x 4 1/2 UNC Threads all week on an ancient CNC and have a real respect for nice threads

Yeah, it's beautiful, but I'll have to put it in the same category as an annealer; I just checked the price and it's pretty much out of my league for this kind of accessory. If the hand primer gets tiring I'll have to switch to priming on the Co-ax. Looks like this thing is about the ultimate primer seating tool though!
God Bless You Orkan!!! I appreciate the way you do business and as a satisfied customer, I love using the Competition Primer Seater @Txhillbilly when reloading. Made quick and easy work seating 200 .300 PRC and .308 Win this past weekendWe had a customer call with a problem with their CPS. Apparently the handle "broke off." The customer had the attitude that there was something wrong with our design or we delivered a faulty unit. The nature of the problem didn't make any sense to me, but whatever. So we overnighted them a new CPS and a label to return the old one to us. We get the old CPS back... and this is what we find.
It's pretty obvious the guy didn't have the handle screwed in but a thread or two. Not sure how this is our fault, but ok. I guess some folks just don't want to take responsibility for anything. Suffice it to say, it's tough not to get bitter when customers treat you this way. The right thing to do when you screw up like this, is to be honest and pay for replacement parts. That shouldn't need to be explained to anyone.
Anyway, our loss is your gain. I'm giving this CPS away to a new home that deserves it. We fixed up the threads on the handle, and the previous customer also put some light scratches on the shuttles and the main body... but its superficial. This priming press works 100%. If you know someone that is in need of a new priming tool or if you yourself are in need, make your case!

Hi I live in Australia and am on a military pension. I shoot competitively and try to save enough to also fund my son in his sporting endeavours. I would love the opportunity to upgrade my priming tool.
Thank you for your kind offer to whoever you select.
Cheers Bill

I'm a 24 years of service Military retiree, I load for my Wife and two sons, (and their friends that we take shooting). I am a disabled vet but my hands still work pretty well, thankfully since I work as a gunsmith. I appreciate the beautiful design and machining you have done. I think the Fire Chief should get it and I appreciate your consideration and generosity.
Thanks, JB

If he couldn't figure this out, he doesn't need to be hand loading ammo. I'm not being sarcastic at all. Really, he's going to encounter way more complex issues than not being aware that the handle needed to be threaded all the way in along with the fact that he could not correct the issue for himself. Again, no sarcasm in that. Just my honest opinion.We had a customer call with a problem with their CPS. Apparently the handle "broke off."

I was thinking exactly that but didnt want to draw criticism for stating that I didnt even want him to be handling a gun.

I don't have anything to add, just my grandson will one day get all of my toys. I think of all the times he has crawled into my lap to help me trim my brass, seat primers and load bullets. He never wants to play with the toy his parents provide for him. He only wants to play with my toys, because I have the best toys. So sometime much later I hope he will get everything in my toy chest and a man can never have to many toys.We had a customer call with a problem with their CPS. Apparently the handle "broke off."

Hi, I'm a member of Amvets 333 in Swannanoa, NC. We have a small (100 yds) pistol and sight-in range, and I teach reloading classes there every first and third Saturday for members and their families. We have a small Lee hand primer that we use for priming, and really could use a bench priming tool. Thank you for this opportunity, and your generosity. G.
