Overview
Built for reloaders who want a straightforward way to seat primers with less hassle, this hand priming tool accepts standard shellholders and is set up for quick switching between large and small primer sizes. The included primer trays combine the tray and punch assembly into one unit, helping reduce loose parts during setup and changeover. Its ergonomic shape is designed to provide leverage while preserving the feel needed for precise primer seating, making it a practical choice for bench work where consistency and control matter. The trays also serve as primer flippers, and the built-in shut-off gate helps keep primers contained during size changes.

- Primer size changeover is straightforward, but it still requires swapping the tray and shellholder components before continuing.
- The tool is designed to provide leverage and feel for primer seating, which can be a trade-off for users who prefer a simpler or more compact priming setup.
- The primer trays include a shut-off gate and flipper function, but those features add steps and parts to manage during changeover and loading.
