Just a little mini review.
I have been loading since 1970 and prefer priming on the press in most cases but I have the RCBS bench priming tool and have 0 complaints has always worked great used mainly for center fire rifle.
I have considered off and on getting a hand priming tool so always read the threads about them with interest , I decided to get the Frankford Arsenal . I just ran 50 , 44 special cases through it and it seems with this limited run to work well a little balky at first but fed the primers better as it was used. I was surprised at its size and weight seems to be a sturdy tool. It comes with a set of shell holders and is easy to switch from large to small primers and seating depth is adjustable with a thumb wheel . I will still prime on the press , but this will be handy to have at times. I like it so far.
Here is a pic next to my RCBS tool

Another fine example of iPad photography ;-)
