I have started reloading for my 300wm at my brother's house. His hand primer does not seem to seat the primers all the way. We had to hand prime it and then use the priming arm on his press to get them to seat the rest of the way. Does it sound like its getting worm out? My brother says he's probably loaded 10,000 rounds with it. What is a good brand?

RCBS but it is the one you have to change the shell holders.

I like it too for priming a bunch,,you can drop a bunch in it and you can feel them bottom out,,

I have a custom one at a time primer but I dont like touching them at all if I can help it..

Lee Auto Prime hand-held. No problems.

Press-mounted priming tools always seemed like too much hassle to me. Priming with Auto Prime is the quickest step in the whole reloading process for me.
 
Hornady,but kinda like the RCBS better form just looking,also have used a Lee.

Couple of things...

Primers and Primer cups can make a difference in How easy primers seat with the handhelds.

1 -Nickel primers like Fed/CCI and older Win are a wee bit bigger than brass Rem or New Win.If one uses them in new cases or cases that haven't had them in them they will seat harder. Had to use a press to seat some federal for a trail run in WSM Win cases one time,zip trouble in once fired factory federal case for the same.

2- Dirty or uneven primer pockets can make some seat harder than others. Make sure the pockets are clean and if you wish,although I don't think it is really necessary get a good primer pocket uniformer.If you do I would suggest the Sinclair Kit Handheld with power tool adaptor.

BTW-It is possible if his handheld uses a spacer/guide for different shell holders like my Hornady does that could play into that. It uses a different Spacer for RCBS shell holders vs Hornadys much easier if you grap the right one for the right brand shell holder :whistle:
