RCBS 9460 Auto Priming Tool

Both small priming rods missing from box, so disappointing, therefore because of that and the hassle of returning the order, ONE STAR. (would have been none, but system would not accept that)!!!!!!

On inspection there were several important parts missing. Very disappointing.

The good bits: very robust piece of kit and should do the job well once I sort out the missing items. Up to now I've used the Lee Bench Primer and the RBS is much superior at a cost though. The bad bits: the two springs for the primer rods were missing from the package and I can't find a way to make contact with the supplier via Amazon - Amazon needs to sort this issue out! I've had to buy a box of assorted springs in the hope that some will fit the primer rods. If so, I've no doubt this is a superior piece of kit as compared with the Lee alternative. It would have been 5 stars but for the missing springs.

I have arthritis in my wrists and can’t operate a hand primer. I really like the lee bench primer, but the plastic inserts don’t last and I can’t find spares. The RCBS bench primer is ALL METAL (apart from the plastic hand grip) and I can’t see it’s going to wear out within the next 20,000 reloads. Just a little lube on the rear slide and it’s off; smooth and easy.

Excellent tool that works well with plenty of feel. The only niggle was the primer tube needed some de-burring on the inside to allow the primers to fall easily past the cotter pin hole. A tip: fit it down solidly to maximise the feel of the primer going into the case.

Brilliant bit of kit rugged works very well no problems plus no more aches in the hand

super stevige priming tool en makkelijk in gebruik

Bien

By no means am I pro reloader. I have a Lyman hand primer which works well(until ya drop it and break off a piece) . A rcbs ram primer and the rcbs auto primer. The auto primer is fun to use. Took a bit to get used to but I truly enjoy it. My 14 yr old son just started helping me and he loves it as well. You'll see lots of reviews that say "can't go wrong with rcbs".. It looks over engineered and somewhat complicated but it's super easy and works the way a primer should.

Oh man, I just got one of these and I love it! I tried the Hornady auto-prime add on to the L_N_L Classic and it SUCKED. HARD. It basically just dumped primers on the floor all the time, no matter how I adjusted it. Returned that. I hate hand priming, I like priming on the press, but putting one primer in the press at a time is SLOW. I looked up a bunch of priming systems and it looked like the RCBS one got great reviews. Decided to go for it, knowing I can always send it back if I need to. But man, it IS great. It uses the same type of primer tubes as the Hornady, but the tube is blocked on the bottom by a detent backed up by a spring, very similar to an AR safety detent. Press down on the handle all the way, the tube swings up and deposits ONE primer, lift the handle up all the way, place a case, press down until seated. Lift all the way, remove primed cases, rock and repeat. I have had it spit out an extra primer twice when I was moving too fast and the arm came back up and - because there was already a primer in the cup - it spit another one out that fell on the bench. No biggy. Compared to the Hornady which would drop one in the cup and 19 on the floor EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. this is not an issue, just me not paying attention. And, considering the absolute *** Hornady was $XX and this is a full bench-top system for $XXX, I'd say it's totally worth it. I've primed about 500 10mm cases and 200 9mm on it and it works great. I started out on a Lee Pro and I'm just used to seating primers with the press lever, and this feels just like that. I can feel when the primer is seated fully, or when it is not going in, or when it needs to go in further. I cannot get used to the Hornady hand primer that came in my kit, and I keep feeling like I am going to detonate a primer every time I seat one, so this is primer seating heaven for me. EDIT: You're going to need a primer tray that flips them all one direction so you can pick them up in the tubes, unless you spring for one of the primer vibes that feeds tubes. Which would about double the price, so I got a cheap RCBS tray. Shake them unitl the anvil is up on all of them, put the top on and flip it, load the tubes from the top.

makes priming so much easier, I mounted with clamps to the coffee table, listen to the Tv at the same time,
