Hornady Handheld Priming Tool

Hornady Handheld Priming Tool

The Hornady Handheld Priming Tool brings efficiency and comfort to one of reloading's most repetitive tasks. This portable tool lets you prime cases independently of your press—a significant advantage when preparing large quantities of brass before full processing.

Design and Ergonomics

Unlike thumb-operated priming tools, this pliers-style design delivers superior leverage and control. The ergonomic grip reduces hand fatigue during extended priming sessions, making it the practical choice for serious reloaders who process volume.

Key Features

• Pliers-style operation for comfortable grip and maximum mechanical advantage
• One-piece primer tray with integral molded primer bushings—no separate bushings to lose or manage
• Handles both small and large primers oriented correctly for reliable feeding
• Quick changeover design allows shell holder and primer tray changes without removing the spring and punch
• Versatile compatibility works with standard Hornady shell holders; adapter available for RCBS shell holders

Practical Advantage

Priming away from your press means you can batch-process cases more efficiently. Prime a large quantity of brass, then move through your loading sequence without interruption. This workflow separation is especially valuable for high-volume reloaders.

A straightforward, dependable tool backed by Hornady's reputation for quality reloading equipment.
