Is anyone thinking about buying this thing???

You have to be one serious priming mofo to be willing to drop $600 for a primer seater.

Looks cool & all & I'm sure its very high quality, but damn, 6oo clams? Anyone considering picking one up?

For that kind of dough, I'd want a machine where I can load one hopper with primers, another with cases, flip the switch, go have dinner and then come back to a bucket full of primed brass.

But that's just me.

Hell no, it better do much more than that for tiny performance gains.

benchbrest crowd, they often test seating primers at different depths.. not saying im every going to buy it or see the point but hey... if you got the coin and nothing better to do.

You know I enjoy making precision rounds as much as anyone, but everyone has to draw the line somewhere, and that is definitely it for me

Reminds me of back when I used to read high end stereo magazines. More high priced snake oil.

Well klnown fact that the majority of fishing tackle is designed to hook fishermen's wallets, not catch fish.

Anyone with an extra $1,200 in unused liquid assets should buy 2.

One to poop on, and one to cover it up with.

I'd rather have this for less than $100

One less motion than the $650 baseprecision version which requires you to manually advance each primer.

(and both use primer pick-up tubes)

Waste of money in my opinion.

I'd figure you would want this, Mike.

My Dillon primes, resizes, flairs the case, fills with powder, seats the bullet, and crimps! For $600 it better at least to that.

I shoot at a range frequented by a cabal of benchrest shooters. Some of these guys have a lot of money. Most of them seem to have tried about every seating device available. Except the new $600 job, and one of them will probably buy one once the word gets around.

This month, they seem to be about evenly split between the Sinclair hand primer, the first version of the RCBS (without the APS feed), and the Co-Ax press. There are a few boutique hand primers similar to the Sinclair in use as well. They are all less than half the price of the Base CPS.

The 0.001" adjustment might be nice to have. I like the idea of the positive stop, it minimizes the human element. Of course the Co-Ax does that as well, and the whole press is less than $300.
