The Lee Precision 90106 Ram Prime Priming Tool transforms the priming process with its innovative ram-operated design that delivers consistent primer seating depth and eliminates the guesswork common with traditional hand priming tools. This bench-mounted system integrates seamlessly into any reloading setup while providing the tactile feedback experienced reloaders demand.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard hand-held priming tools that rely on finger strength and can cause fatigue during extended sessions, the Ram Prime system uses mechanical advantage through its ram operation. The tool provides uniform primer seating force across all cartridge cases, reducing the risk of high or crushed primers that can affect ignition consistency. Its robust construction handles both small and large rifle and pistol primers without requiring separate shell holders for different case head sizes.
Key Features
- Ram-operated mechanism provides consistent primer seating depth and force
- Universal shell holder design accommodates most rifle and pistol cartridges
- Bench-mountable base with C-clamp attachment system
- Separate primer feed tubes for large and small primers
- Cast iron construction with machined steel components
- Adjustable primer seating depth for different case specifications
- Compatible with all standard boxer primers from major manufacturers
The Ram Prime Tool excels in high-volume reloading scenarios where consistency and speed matter most. Competition shooters appreciate the uniform primer seating that contributes to consistent ignition timing, while precision rifle enthusiasts value the controlled seating depth that prevents primer cratering. The tool handles everything from .223 Remington to .308 Winchester cases with equal precision, making it suitable for both varmint hunting loads and long-range target ammunition preparation.
