[QUOTE="Reloader222, post: 742594, member: 25295"] I had use one of the first Hornady Handprimes some time ago and thought it would be better to buy the RCBS Universal Hand Prime. Had done about 100 cases and about 10 had a click before seating - indicating misallignment with the case. This could cause the anvil to slip out of the primer hood and influencing the bang. Maybe the unit was still too new, but I have decided to change over to the RCBS Hand Prime that still uses the shell holders. The allignment on this unit was 100/100. The problem with this latest unit is that there is no retaining washer on the priming stem letting the stem to fall out when you turn the unit upside down. One could say that that is not the way to use it, but it is a way to loose the priming stem. Design fault. Only problem with both RCBS units is that it requires a realy hard squeeze, making it not so possible to feel the primer seating. I am currently back on the Hornady Hand Prime. The squeeze is easy compared to the RCBS units giving a true feeling of the seating process. Alignment 100/100. [/QUOTE]
