For the OP; Well you can see from all the different answers the choice of a priming tool is entirely personal preference. I think ram priming has better "feel" and consistency than a hand prime. I think the hand prime tools I have used (3) are not that much faster, if at all, than a ram prime. But as you can see, there are just as many who say the opposite. The only method I haven't tried is an RCBS bench mounted priming tool. I have used/primed many, many cases on the "stock" priming arms on a half dozen different presses, and all seated primers successfully. I don't think of case preparation and TV go together, but to each his own (I once saw a woman breast feeding, eating, and driving on a freeway in LA). To make a good choice you would have to try all methods and find the one that fits your reloading needs, or be less picky looking for "perfection"...
