Excellent hand priming tool
I have been using this tool for about 5 years. I shoot F-Class and go through several thousand rounds a year. Some have small rifle primers others have large primers. They all go through the Hornady priming tool. If it broke today I would buy another this evening.

Hornady hand priming tool
Very durable, I own 2 of them and leave one set up for small primers, one for large. I bought these after breaking 2 from another manufacturer quite a while ago.

Hand Operation Primer Seater
This is the third time that I have bought this Hornady tool. I reload a lot and keep looking for an efficient, portable way to seat primers. This is portable but not efficient and prone to spillage. I'm still looking for a better tool.
