K&M Precision Hand Priming & Gauge Tool
The K&M Precision Hand Priming & Gauge Tool is the ultimate instrument for the reloader who accepts no compromises when seating primers. This high-quality tool combines a hand priming tool with an integrated dial indicator, allowing you to seat every primer at exactly the same depth. For benchrest shooters and precision reloaders striving for maximum consistency, this tool is indispensable.
Precision through measurement
Benchrest shooters know that the primer should rest at or just against the base of the primer pocket. Developing this 'feel' takes years of experience. The K&M Primer Gauge Tool eliminates guesswork by integrating a dial indicator that displays the exact seating depth. Every primer is seated at precisely the same depth, case after case, batch after batch.
This calibrated placement is simply not possible without a measuring instrument. The consistency you achieve translates directly to uniform ignition and therefore lower extreme spread and standard deviation of your muzzle velocity. For competition shooters, this can make the difference between winning and losing.
Tactile feedback
Besides the dial indicator, the K&M Primer Gauge Tool also offers excellent tactile feedback. You feel precisely when the primer touches the bottom of the pocket. This combination of feeling and measuring gives you complete control over the priming process. The result is reliable, repeatable placement that you can take to the range with confidence.
Compatibility
The Primer Gauge Tool works with Lee primer shellholders. Derraco precision priming shellholders also fit, as they share the same dimensions. This means you can likely get started immediately with shellholders you already own.
