Practical Benefits
- The Hornady Handheld Priming Tool Silver Multi Caliber Metal (0500021) fits reloaders who want to feel primer seating directly by hand and prefer to prime cases separately from sizing and seating operations.
- Strong leverage and ergonomic grips help you seat primers fully and consistently, which supports reliable ignition in both handgun and rifle loads.
- Compatibility with both Hornady and RCBS style shell holders makes it easy to plug this tool into an existing die and shell holder lineup.
- Because you can quickly change shell holders and trays without disassembling the mechanism, this priming tool works well for reloaders who regularly prime for more than one cartridge.
