I only pull to the wall, and try to be consistent on the pressure I arrive at the wall with.. I do not try to pull thru the wall....

Just check after you primer to make sure primer is seated. ( standing on edge is a fast test)
I've gave some pretty good pressure and I've never damaged my primers ( unless primer pocket wasn't swaged enough) I don't think you can go further than intended, but it's a feel thing. |

I've always just pulled it all the way in

Quoted:
Went to prime for the first time tonight. My question is...when pulling the lever, you hit a "wall" towards the end of the pull. I assume this is when the primer is seated? Are you supposed to continue pulling after this? Are you supposed to pull it all the way in? The manual only talks about "feel" and .003-.005". You feel the primer seating. What you are calling the wall. I can feel it with hand primers, bench primers, my Rockchucker, and on my Dillon's, but I've been seating primers since the late 70's.. When you think primer is seated, look at the primer and it should be .002 to .003 below flush. So you need to teach yourself the "muscle memory" of a properly seated primer. This comes with practice. If primer is high, reinsert primer and seat it deeper. So seat a primer, look at it to know if it's seated correctly. If you keep cranking on the handle after primer is seated, the primer cup gets smashed flat. Set these aside as practice rounds. Also priming tools can be broken with too much pressure. Good luck. |

I like the tool, it's great once you get the feel of it.
I just absolutely hate changing the shell holder...its a total pain in the ass to get the spring and rod down sometimes. |

OP, as others have said it's kind of a feeling you develop. I have no idea if I've developed it or not. My primers go bang so guess that's what matters. To answer your question, I think I somewhat push through that "wall" to get them slightly below flush. Could just be the way my particular tool works/feels. Never seemed to crush anything. |

I bought two of the Universal model and returned both. Neither would fully seat primers with consistency and the manual effort was needlessly heavy. I had one of the older models years ago. While a shell holder changeover with that tool was a bit more trouble than with other hand priming tools, the unit was a much better one than the Universal model.

Meh, buy a second one, leave one set for large primers and one for small primers... |

Which tool? I have the universal one and it's pretty easy to use. Changing the large/small primer rod is a slight hassle but easy enough. . Quote HistoryQuoted:

Bought the newer one, and wasn't sure if I was going to like the way it worked. But as it turns out, I am impressed with it and I think it works a lot easier with not changing shell holders out. The only drawback I have found so far, is if I put enough pressure on it the casing will pop out. |

Universal works just fine for me. Just squeeze till it stops.

I'll admit that I'm a primer crusher, but all my rounds go bang.
I usually go past the wall and squeeze until the tool is completely closed. I need to quit that, especially on my precision rifle loads, and see how the numbers are affected. |
