RCBS Universal Priming Tool
I thought I would give a kudo for this product.

I have been using the old RCBS hand priming tool,
which like the Lee, uses different shell holders
for different cartridges. Not this one. The only
change is a 1 minute operation if you want to
change from small primers to large. It uses
a shell holder that is similar in principal to
the jaws of a Forster Co-Ax press.

FINALLY a great hand priming tool !!

I purchased that tool when it first came out and love it, it works great.

Do these things work equally as well for left handed people? I sold my last one and went to a Lee because the set up was all wrong for a lefthander like me.

I have no problem operating it left handed.
But I also have the Lee and the operation
of both units is very similar. If you didn't
like the Lee Auto Prime, you may not like
this one either.

The orientation of the shellholder opening to the lever on the Autoprime may make it a little easier to use in either hand.

You insert the case into the RCBS from the left, which means you are reaching with your right hand, over the priming tray, to the left side of your left hand to insert the cartridge. This is assuming you hold the body of the primer against your left palm, and squeeze the lever with your fingers. If you place the lever up against your palm, and squeeze the handle body with your fingers, it would probably work great left handed.
