I use Wilson dies to handload my 308 and soon 260 Remington.
I have used a Lee Auto Prime Hand Priming Tool and don't like it. I don't think I want ANY of the thumb pumped priming gadgets.

Anyone know of some OTHER priming systme that works with an Arbor Press or some other way than pressing with the thumb?

You can try the Forster Co-Ax primer seater, I've had one (it was called Bonanza then) for at least 25 years.

I still think a hand primer seater are best, but the Co-AX works well, but you loose some of the feel of seating a primer since the mechanical leverage is greater.

I love my RCBS Autoprime! Tens of Thousands of rounds on it.

ALMOST any "C" or "O" type handloading press has some kind of priming apparatus that attaches with a swing arm that swings out with a small cup for priming. All bench mounted priming tools can crush primers as well as another. That's why a LOT of loaders like a hand tool to feel the primer seat.

I'm sure the RCBS unit pictured above is a wonderful tool.

Good luck finding what you are looking for.
