Are any of you guys familiar with this hand priming tool? If so, I would like to know about its quality. I have about had it with my Rock Chucker priming arm and am ready to order a hand priming tool right away. I had the Sinclair in my cart at Brownell's, but they are sold out of the priming head tool for 338 Lapua. I was set on getting the Sinclair, but I need a priming tool right away and can't wait for a back order for the 338 head tool. I've searched the web, looking for a decent hand priming tool, but I'm not having much luck. I am only interested in a single feed tool and definitely want a good quality tool. I found the 21stcenturyshooting.com hand priming tool and it looks interesting. I'm tempted to order it right now, but I thought I would come here first and see if anybody has any experience with it. If anybody has any feedback for me on this, it would be much appreciated!

Buy it, you'll like it. I bought thier neckturner tool and have been very happy with it, it's very well made.
Thanks for all the feedback! I have searched and found a few reviews on the 21st Century and I think between that and what you guys have said, I will probably go with it. Since tomorrow is Memorial Day, it doesn't do me any good to order before Tuesday, so I will hold off until then.....still open to more suggestions between now and Tuesday. Thanks!
FYI there was a very positive review in one of the issues of http://www.targetshooter.co.uk . I can't remember which.
I've been looking at these too. My main concern is that I'll get irritated by loading primers one at a time. But the RCBS and Lee hand tools I've used kind of suck, so I might just take the plunge anyhow.

thanks for the info. sounds like I'll go with the 21st century tool with the Lee trays.
I didn't realize they made on that used a tray. Looks nice.
Just wanted to report back on my purchase of the 21st Century hand priming tool. After having primed about 800 cases since I got it, I am very pleased with this tool. It is easy to use, easy to adjust and has worked flawlessly for me.
Before I purchased this tool, I was priming all of my cases with the priming arm on my Rockchucker. Priming was my least favorite step of the reloading process while I was using the priming arm on my press. Now, I actually find it enjoyable to use this tool to prime my cases. It is very well made and I highly recommend it!

Hey, so what are your thoughts on that 21st century priming tool now that you've had it a little longer? Still flawless?
