[QUOTE="orkan, post: 2234201, member: 25377"] Too bad you ordered the other thing before talking to me. I'd have given you a discount on a new CPS. Suffice it to say, I owned the RCBS bench unit. If it was the answer, I wouldn't have invented the CPS. Money is money, but if you ask anyone that has owned both... there's no way they'd go back to the old machine I bet. I've spent more time, money, and effort testing all of the various aspects of primers, primer seating, and its relationship to rifle ignition systems than I could tell you about on a 10hr phone call. I have demonstrated how primers seated at one setting will produce better accuracy and precision than primers seated at a different setting. Not some small change either... but 50% at 500yds. Have you ever even seen a CPS? Have you witnessed the tolerances at play and the quality of the finish? If you think a product like ours comes at some tiny cost and we're getting rich, you clearly have no experience in a machine shop. Just because you don't value it, doesn't mean it shouldn't be valued. If you had used one, you'd know just how much less effort using our tool is than anything else on the market. Yet you don't need to take my word for it... just ask anyone that owns one. Have you ever measured case rim thickness across a wide array of cases? What about the top of the case rim to the bottom of the primer pocket? I bet you've never once measured that in your life, so you wouldn't know that on quality brass with a non-uniformed pocket... it typically varies less than 1 thousandth of an inch across a lot number. Typically much less. Then there's the fact that every priming tool will deform the case rim to some degree on tight pockets. That deformation can not be controlled uniformly with lever/cam driven designs... but it CAN be controlled on our rotary driven design, if the operator so chooses. Everything is a hoax to some people. Just because you lack the experience or skill to prove its existence, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
