IMO: One does not require an expensive priming tool to properly install primers.
I have two RCBS auto primers with the round tray, I have 4 Lee auto primers with round lids and enough to build two more and I have the hand primer by Lee that sets one primer at a time, I have the bench type by Loch/Miller and I have one by Herter. I also have the RCBS bench mounted primer system, I can seat primers from the bottom and top of my Rock Checkers.
And I have arms this fit various presses.
I do not have a favorite, I have my 'go-to', that would be the Lee auto primer with round trays. I understand; most reloaders are driven to the curb with the large Federal primer trays. not me. I dissected the Federal sliding tray to drip 25 primers at a time, I did all of that before I knew reloaders were having problems.
And the first thing I learned about the Lee auto prime of the first order was not to double-clutch the thump operated handle.
