[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1171587, member: 1521"] It seems whenever there is a priming tool comparison, discussions go to 'feel'. This default is absolutely wrong. You can seat primers to all kinds of 'feel' and they will go off, every one, but not the same. Does it matter? Most will never know it, but I've seen first hand that all aspects of primer striking/firing affect results. This, including bolt timing, trigger sear release, pin fall, pin mass, spring force, primer cup, primer preload, flash holes, rub/interference points, etc. There is a priming tool that bypasses feel,, that actually measures to seat every individual primer to every individual pocket to measured/desired crush (preload), and with it you can pretty much instantly see that 'feel' is ridiculous to reality. That tool is the INDICATED K&M(not standard K&M). There is nothing else like it, not even close. I could describe it's use to zero out variances before measured seating, but it's complicated by the genius in it's design. It's one of those things that you just have to see operate to understand.
