Default Primers...

What do most folks use to insert prmers? Is the RCBS hand primer a good choice?

Another vote for the RCBS Hand Priming Tool. I've primed probably 2000 rounds of ammo with mine so far without a hiccup. I've had it since I started handloading (it came with the very good and economical Rockchucker Supreme Master Kit), but just for s**ts and giggles I tried the press priming thing once, and decided that I'd never use it again. The hand priming tool is the way to go, IMO.

hand priming all the way.

I started with the press for priming. It took for ever and was uncomfortable. I had a friend with a Hornady or Lee or something or other and I tried it. The next chance I got, I bought a RCBS. No reason to go with RCBS, other than it looked a little heavier than the lee and I have primarily RCBS stuff. It definately speeds up the process.

sorry, spelling error
