Because feeding a ram priming system that requires you to either seat primers in the little cup, or using Lee's various press mounted primer feeding units is like trying to stack BBs on top of one another. If I wanted to take my stubby sausage fingers and make myself angry at small little parts, I'd take up model making.

I'll agree that the RCBS hand priming tool is a PITA to set up. I sold mine and bought a Lee hand priming tool, which takes about 5 seconds to set up and works like a charm.

That said, if I had a good progressive like a Dillon or a Hornady LnL that fed from tubes, I'd prime on the press.
Until then, priming separately is far faster for me. It's also one of the main reasons I don't have a turret press.
