Another Original Idea from Hornady

I think there was an old old philosophizer that said "dont hate the player, hate the game"
Either patent something and be willing to pay to protect it...or don't.
A patent is like a restraining order. It's literally useless outside of court.

It does not look like another product to me, but it looks like a neat machine with a stop for adjustable seating depth.
Auto Bench Prime
The easiest, most convenient bench mounted priming tool on the market. Symmetrical design allows effortless right or left hand operation. Comfortable lever with just the right amount of mechanical advantage effortlessly seats even the most difficult primers with just finger pressure. The perfect...
IMO - No, it does not. The only feature different is the "revolving" primer feed system. The system still holds the cartridge case in a shell holder, which is susceptible to case rim thickness - lack of consistency. I had the Hornady Handheld Priming Tool that would only work with Hornady shell holders. I wonder if this one is the same.
Neat. I prefer the press style pull down handle to the mongo smash style handle but the fact that it appears to be toolless to swap shell holders and primer sizes is a win.
Now I’m no Hornady defender….but what other bench primer are they ripping off?
And please don’t say CPS. Aside from both being square, having a handle, and mounting to a bench I don’t see it.

The Lee, which seats by feel (which I prefer).
The Lyman, which indexes on the bottom surface of the cartridge case, like the Forster Co-Ax on-press primer seater. If one uniforms the primer pockets then the bottom of the cartridge case becomes an excellent reference. Probably good without uniforming too.
That Primal Rights dude is gonna lose his shit....
Ya completely no resemblance at all just like their new Aeromatch series bullets. Are they trying to put a couple premium bullet makers out of business?
I think they are head hunting the entire industry. Who is next? Barrel manufacturer, midway .
Hornady primers and powder next?

It's the ACP that they discontinued. It's the one I use mostly these days. The only thing I had to do with it is make a little modification so that the primer seating depth is adjustable. It's really great for consistent seating since it doesn't use the case's rim, rims having variable rim thickness, to seat the primer. It produces the most consistency over any . . . ANY other priming tool on the market.
The APP is a very similar design, but needs some modifications to work like the ACP. . . but it's doable.
I would love it if they did. Those Hodgdon Fuckers are gouging us blind.
