This video from Brownells Gun Tech™ Steve Ostrem compares hand priming versus priming on a reloading press. He explains that both methods are effective but cater to different needs. Hand priming offers greater sensitivity and control, making it ideal for precision shooting where round-to-round consistency is paramount. Priming on the press is faster and more efficient for high-volume handgun ammunition loading, where absolute consistency is less critical. The video concludes by recommending hand primers for precision and press priming for speed and volume, encouraging viewers to 'sleep well tonight.'
