I've got a similar question which didn't rate its own thread.
Thus:
I ordered an RCBS hand-held primer tool. I didn't realize that I needed a shellholder with it!
I spent pretty much all the disposible cash I have for the next three months ordering the reloading press and components, so I'm not eager to plonk down more at the local shop.
I should be seeing my second-hand SDB sometime next week... will there be a shellholder on the machine which I can use on the primer tool? Should I just sell the primer tool or put it in storage and go ahead and use the Dillon for priming? I've heard from several reloaders at the range that they prefer to hand-prime because of the better "feel" they get in seating the primers.
looking forward to your comments...
