[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 1881710, member: 105459"] The Frankford Arsenal Platinum hand primer comes complete with all the shell holders that you will need. Nothing else will be needed as the large and small priming pin retainers are also included along with a compression spring. Also included is your universal primer tray with a feeding gate that can be locked to prevent feeding after your tray has been loaded then inserted. There is a dial on the the units base that will allow for a controllable primer seating depth. This is a big benefit if you reload multiple calibers such as pistol as well as rifle. More so if you use different primers such as CCI , Federal , & Winchester brands in both large and small size variations. Hardness levels also do vary and with too much pressure applied upon seating resulting in a damaged primer. Some rifle ( IE .308 , 6.5 Creedmoor etc.) as well as Pistol Brass (IE .45 ACP) use either depending on your choice of brass as well as it's configuration. Because some primers are softer in construction than others it is nice to be able to seat them sub flush say -.002" - -.003" without dimpling or worse yet destroying the primers themselves. The Frankford Arsenal Platinum will alleviate all of the above concerns ! With that being said Frankford Arsenal makes a very good and extremely flexible priming tool. One that is easily used in one hand . Change outs from large to small primers are also easy and very fast. I have been using this tool now for about 1 1/2 years without any issiues. Adjusting the primer seating depth is not a big deal plus it is certainly an advantageous feature as noted above. All in all a very useful tool, however until your unit is broken in changing out shell holders, or for that matter going from large to small primer holders can be a bit of a challenge due to spring tension. More so if you have large hands, however rest assured once you have what I like to call seasoned your priming tool all will function smoothly and correctly. All in all I would definitely recommend the Frankford Arsenal Platinum hand primer . Hope this helps ! [/QUOTE]
