Mixed feelings
After viewing numerous online reviews, which were all very positive, I purchased the Platinum seater. It is heavy duty as described, but I was surprised to find that the 6mm Arc or 6.5 Grendel was not listed in the shelly holder listing. Also the primer tray would not flip CCI Br4 small rifle primers, in fact you could put a try of primers in right side up, shake it a bit and it would turn half of them wrong side up. A call to Frankford resulted in a helpful customer service agent that is sending a new tray. In the meantime, I discovered that a light sanding of the tray will cause it to turn the primers properly. Care must be taken as it is easy to over sand. All in all, I believe it to be a good value tool, but at the same time, one shouldn't have to modify a new tool to get it to work. I would still recommend this tool, however, just be aware of potential shortfalls

Doesn't seat primers deep enough
This tool is awesome with the exception the with certain brass (mainly Lapua and Norma) it doesn't seat the primer deep enough.
