We had discussion about this some time back but I couldn't find it.

What priming tool is everyone using for 470 NE. My RCBS & Sinclair tool & Lee won't work, the shell holder is too large.

Ordered a Hornady form Midway, they don't make them anymore. They will be re-made in several months.

The Forster has three locking jaws that can be adjusted for practically any caliber.

The RCBS hand tool with an RCBS shellholder is perfect. I use the combo all the time for my .470 NE reloads.

Your RCBS hand tool, is it an old one, I called RCBS and the ones they make now won't take the 470 shell holder.

A little grinding will make it fit. Did it on mine

Since my RCBS handpriming tool won't work with my 470 RCBS shellholder as well, I just use the Ram Priming tool that was included with my Ammomaster.

Due to it's "screw" adjustment and seating at the top of the press stroke, I get consistent pressure to seat them each time.

I have always used the press priming arm. Have really never seen the advantage to using a seperate tool and operation. I prime on the down stroke of the sizing operation usually but I don't load thousands of rounds,more like 50 or so at a time and when it's 470's usually 20. When I do load a couple of hundred at a time I do prime as a seperate operation but still use the press. Please explain to me what the advantage is to a seperate tool, and I'm truly not just asking to create a discussion, I really DON'T understand the reason for it but to sell more tools.
