Description
Getting primers seated at a consistent depth is one of those little details that separates loads that go bang every time from ones that give you a hang fire or a flyer. The Frankford Arsenal Perfect Seat Hand Primer takes the guesswork out of it. Instead of relying on feel, you set a depth dial and let the tool do the thinking. Squeeze the handle as firm as you want and a positive hard stop keeps the primer from going any deeper than where you set it.
How the Perfect Seat Dial Works
The seating depth dial adjusts in .001 inch increments with a total range of .05 inch, so you can fine tune to your exact brass and primer combination. Once that depth is locked in, every primer seats the same, which is exactly what you want for match grade consistency or just reliable hunting ammo. No more proud primers sitting high, no more crushed pellets from over-seating.
Built to Take a Beating
This is not a flimsy tool. The body is die-cast zinc with steel internal components, and it has real heft to it. A lot of folks are surprised how solid it feels in the hand the first time they pick one up. The handle design leans on your grip rather than your thumb, which is a welcome change if you have ever primed a few hundred cases in one sitting and felt it the next day.
Shell Holders, Primer Tray, and Storage
The kit ships with 12 shell holders that cover most of the popular cartridges you will run into. The self-righting primer tray holds over 100 primers and has ridges that flip them to the correct orientation as you work, so loading goes quick. Switching between small and large primers is a fast thumb-release operation, and the storage case has three extra posts for stashing custom or rare collets. Everything tucks into the injection molded case so parts do not wander off your bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Perfect Seat Hand Primer work with both small and large primers?
Yes, it handles both small and large primers right out of the box. A quick thumb-release system lets you switch between the two in seconds, so you are not stuck swapping parts around every time you change cartridges.
How precise is the seating depth adjustment?
The dial adjusts in .001 inch increments with a total range of .05 inch, so you can fine tune to your exact brass. Once you set your depth, a positive hard stop keeps every primer seated at that same spot no matter how hard you squeeze the handle.
How many cartridges do the included shell holders cover?
The tool comes with 12 shell holders that cover most of the popular cases reloaders run. The storage case also has three extra posts so you can add and store custom or hard to find collets in the same spot.
Is this hand primer durable enough for heavy use?
It is built with a die-cast zinc body and steel internal components, so it has real weight and a solid feel. Many reloaders note how it leans on your grip instead of your thumb, which helps cut down on fatigue during long priming sessions.
