Does anyone have a favorite hand priming tool that lets you load a 100 primers at a time into a tray feeder? I think loading from strips or tubes is too much. I have a Dillon 550B but mainly use it to feed my 9mm. Or .357sig.
I recently got an RCBS 90200 hand priming tool and have used it to prime .223, .357sig, and 6.8SPC brass.
Two small items standout about this tool.
1) Changing shell holders is fiddly at best and mostly a nuisance so you have to make sure you load a lot of cases.
a) the requirement to remove primer gate arm then plastic which has bushing inside the shellholder makes it tedious.
b) the ram is two piece ball joint link which needs to be centered(has slip joint at opposite end to prevent side thrust) and lifted while extending it back up into plastic shellholder/primer chute.
2) Older RCBS shellholders don't fit.
