[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1433833, member: 10755"] I run the RCBS Universal hand priming tool, works on everything from 17Rem to 416Rigby. The only cartridges I have that don’t fit are my 505Gibbs/500NE. I get very uniform depth with this tool, my old one that uses shell holders would vary with whatever shell holder I was using. I was not pleased with this. If you prime while watching tv, as I do, this tool is very easy to use and foolproof. Just don’t get hamfisted with it, I watched a buddy use his for the first time and he ‘thought’ that the handle HAD TO TOUCH THE FRAME to get a fully seated primer. The force he used from BOTH HANDS to close it must have been HUGE, yet the primer didn’t detonate. I enlightened him that you can ‘feel’ the primer bottom out when there was a spring to the handle and you can get very consistent seating depth this way. Cheers. :) [/QUOTE]
