Well that is an older design than mine, it appears to handle a single primer at a time?
Mine was the newish design during the early 1990's when I bought it after trying friends Lee, the RCBS just fit my hand better. I'm glad I spent the extra few dollars for it.
Without looking at the box, (yes I still keep it in the factory box, might be why it has lasted and stayed around), I believe the proper nomenclature for my unit is the RCBS Hand Priming Tool.

you don't have to send it back, you just have to help the little short bar travel up a little. I've had mine completely apart and in pieces to clean before. it does go back together and function.
I like the new one.. except that once you get to about 32cal case size.. the jaws are iffy. I was reloading some 327 fed mag, and every other case jumped out of the jaws and I had to go back to old trusty to get priming done.
I got the priming tool back together but the priming pins would not go down far enough to put in a shell holder. I could see nothing wrong with the assembly. Very frustrating.

I bought an RCBS priming tool after my thumb got tired of operating a Lee. The RCBS has more of a "full" handle, so you use your entire hand instead of just your thumb.
For future reference, wrap a rubber band (or a bread bag tie) around the handle before you start changing parts out. It keeps the unit from springing apart when working with it. I also store it that way if I'm going to use the same primer size in the future....makes the whole thing smaller for storage. Try it, it works. I've also put a couple of pieces of Scotch tape on the tray cover so it doesn't jump off and spill primers everywhere. Try it, it works.
When in use, I always give the whole thing a small shake after each priming operation.........keeps the primers feeding.
My RCBS is at least 20 years old and the only problem I've had is the little plastic primer gizmos that insert in the feed tray tend to wear over the years. A quick call to RCBS brought replacements in no time and no charge.
Thanks, I will give your advice a try. 30-06 guns I see you live way up north in California.
