Seagiant, the reason the ram prime is better is that when it gets to the top of the stroke it can no longer seat the primer deeper, and the RCBS bench priming tool can seat the primer deeper by applying more force.
I am sure you and others like myself have seated primers both high and too deep with the RCBS bench tool. It is easy enough to reseat a high primer flush, but what about one that is too deep, and I look as this being a variable. The variation in primer seating is controlled by the Ram prime unit when the press reaches the top of it's stroke/TDC and can no longer apply seating force. The only variation that can exist now in primer depths with uniformed primer pockets is the variation in rim thickness of the case where it is held by the shell holder. A thicker case rim will hold the case down below where the shell holder catches the rim causing the primer to be seated deeper.
