Primal Rights Competition Primer Seater

Now that I have seen and handled this tool in person, I can only tell you that it is more impressive than it appears in the photographs and videos.  I have provided positive feedback to Primal Rights in this regard.

The Primal Rights Competition Primer Seater (CPS) was designed to address the need for a precise, high volume primer seating tool.  It is not practical to use a hand priming tool when working with a 300, 500, or 1,000 round batch. Hand priming tools can also extreme fatigue in your thumbs and hands.  The bench-mounted units are often quite a lot safer, but generally much slower. They also often lack the same “feel” you get with the hand priming tools.

The CPS was designed to provide a safe, accurate and rapid method to seat primers.

The handle on the CPS can be moved to accommodate any bench position or priming style on either the left or right side.

The CPS is the only priming tool to combine both features into a single unit. You can achieve seating depths accurate to within a thousandth of an inch, all while priming at a comfortable rate of over 20 cases per minute. At that pace you can easily prime over a thousand cases per hour.

Precision rifle shooters know that one of the keys to reducing your extreme velocity spread is to ensure consistent powder ignition. The CPS has a revolutionary adjustable shell holder system which allows you to raise and lower your case in relation to the priming rod. You can seat the primer deeper or shallower in .001″ increments. The adjustment mechanism has tactile and audible ‘clicks’ to ensure you stay on your desired seating depth. One click = One thousandth of an inch adjustment.

The CPS can use nearly any brand of primer tube for simple and effective loading of primers into the tool. No more plastic trays to break or fumble with. As long as the tubes have an outside diameter of .312″ or so, you can use them with the CPS.  The unit ships with one small rifle and one large rifle priming tubes.

The CPS uses a manually operated shuttle system to slide primers from the primer tube into position over the primer rod. This ensures that any jams or misaligned primers are easily and safely discovered by the operator. Slight finger pressure is all that is required to position a primer for seating. Sliding the shuttle rearward until it stops will capture a primer from the primer tube. Sliding the shuttle forward will position the primer over the priming rod.  This is an effortless motion which completely isolates the primer being pressed into the case from the rest of the primers in the primer tube.  The manual operation also ensures that you will be able to feel any malfunctions immediately and allow you to stop if a jam occurs.

The CPS is a bench-mounted priming tool. This ensures a controlled and static orientation of the case being primed, so that if a faulty primer detonates, the blast will be directed straight upwards through the case mouth rather than in a random direction. Being mounted to a bench also allows for a consistent technique and operation of the priming tool.

Unlike pivot-driven designs, the CPS provides an accurate and constant feel through the entire range of motion. This, combined with the extreme strength and rigidity of the CPS ensures that you will “feel” each primer as it is being seated. This is important so that worn out brass can be identified and culled when you feel a loose primer pocket.

The Primal Rights CPS requires a Lee Auto Prime Shell Holder of the correct size for the cartridge case to be primed.  Please contact us prior to ordering and let us know your requirements.  All Primal Rights CPS will be shipped with a Lee Auto Prime #2 and #4 to facilitate priming 223 Remington and 308 Winchester sized cases.
