Primer seating for big cases????????
Guys

I've used a Lee Auto Prime for years now for all my smaller cases but was wondering what is available for priming the likes of .416 Rigby and .470 NE cases? I've been using the priming arm on my press so far but it hasn't got much "feel" to it and the result is often deformed primers and slivers of brass taken off the primer pocket etc.

What do you guys use?

Cheers.

Forster...

With 3 adjustable jaws, it'll easily accomodate the largest NE cases.

The RCBS hand priming tool works pretty well on large cases. The only negative thing I can say about this tool is be carefull when you turn it upside down because the little primer plunger or ram can fall out.

The Hornady is an improvement on the RCBS IMO. It uses your press shell holder & you can change them out very quickly, unlike the RCBS. The leverage is also better than the Lee.

Put me down for the Hornady as well. I don't even have the priming arm installed on my RockChucker. All I use is the Hornady hand tool
