Looking at a Ram prime tool
Posted: 22 Feb 2020 08:02
Short version .
My wrist doesn't like the squeeze repetition needed for ram down or hand priming anymore on the good days its not bad but on the bad days and the day after its horrible and leads aspirin , burbon and crankiness .
Enter the rising ram high mechanical advantage tool . I don't really want a bench top primer that space is at a premium , although a couple more blind nuts won't hurt anything . I have a press near ideal for the ram prime tool in permanent position .
I've been looking at the Lee , Lyman and RCBS units , for which the reviews aren't very helpful .
Yes I know where I am .
I recall something in the distant past . RD had issues or replaced one with a better or different tool .
Lee has the price point advantage by 45% at Midway . RCBS is in the middle but comes with complete rod assy for lg&sm primers handy for 45 ACP and 6.8 among others . Lyman is only a buck or so more but requires buying extra parts or parts swapping for lg to sm primers .
The CH is out by price point even if it has extra features . It's not worth 3x the big green or 5x + Lee for 1 extra function I can grind a rod or 2 to do .
Sell me on the most satisfying , low aggrevation , long life tool .
