The RCBS 9460 Automatic Priming Tool streamlines the priming process for reloaders working with multiple calibers, delivering consistent primer seating depth and reducing hand fatigue during high-volume loading sessions. This bench-mounted tool handles both large and small primer sizes across rifle and pistol cartridges.
What Makes This Different
Unlike hand-held priming tools that require repetitive squeezing motions, the RCBS 9460 uses an automatic feed system that positions primers consistently for uniform seating depth. The tool's leverage-based design requires significantly less hand pressure than traditional methods, allowing reloaders to prime hundreds of cases without strain. Built-in safety features prevent primer spillage and accidental detonation during operation.
Key Features
- Automatic primer feed system eliminates manual primer handling
- Universal shell holder compatibility fits most rifle and pistol cases
- Adjustable seating depth control ensures consistent primer placement
- Large capacity primer tray holds up to 100 primers
- Ergonomic handle design reduces operator fatigue
- Safety shield protects against primer spillage
- Quick-change primer size conversion (large/small rifle and pistol)
The tool's precision-machined components maintain consistent primer seating pressure across different case types, from .223 Remington to .45 ACP. Competition shooters benefit from the uniform ignition characteristics that result from consistent primer depth, while high-volume reloaders appreciate the speed advantage over hand tools. The robust construction handles extended use without degradation in performance, making it suitable for commercial loading operations.
