Does this remove and replace the primer, or is there another hand held tool I will need?

This product will remove spent primers if your dies are equipped with a decapping pin (as most are). Priming or re-priming is accomplished with the "Ram Prime" assembly which is included in the Breech Lock Hand Press Kit (the hand press is also sold without this attachment so check that you are buying the kit). You can know that you are buying the Kit if the description includes a funnel and case lube. This is a handy item for loading at the range or doing small batches anywhere.

It comes with priming die so that you can put primer back to the case. For removing primer, you need either universal deprimer die or an exact deprimer die for your bullet caliber. To reload you need another set of dies with this tool.

You can replace primers with the included ram prime. The primers are removed with the die set that is purchased separately. Since the same hand tool is used, no additional hand tools are required.

As part of the press kit it has a "ram prime" tool that you use to install primers. It comes with both sizes of rams for both sizes of primers. The removal of the primer is done with the resize/decapper die that comes in whatever size calibre dies you are using.

So the answer to your question is YES. The "ram prime" will replace your primer. This is a basic press, and for EACH caliber you intend to reload, you must purchase a die set specific to that caliber. The die set includes a 'decapping die' that removes the spent primer. You also must purchase a shellholder to hold the cartridge in the press.

I have used this tool to remove the primer crimp in .223 brass. I have been reloading for just about a year and I thought this tool was universal and that it would prep a 308 using the larger bits. I could be wrong. I eventually switched to the Lyman case prep express. It uses the same bits as this tool. But my newbie answer to your question is yes. It just takes a little work.

Yes this tool with the large primer pocket reamer tool that comes with it will remove the military primer crimp from 7.62x51 or any other large primered case that has a primer with a crimp.

No it is a prep tool. I use mine after the brass comes out of the tumbler. I also use it by hand.

The sizing die decaps the brass case which means it removes the spent primer. I use a dedicated deprimer die.

U will need a primer that is not included, and a the brushes r kinda small. Might want to get a larger one, other than that, this kit has it all

Yes, it could, but it has a heavy coat of glossy shelac (or something) on it that would have to be lightly sanded to get a primer to hold.

The kit removes and replaces as well. Used it already and it worked like a charm!

Try a spot were it cannot be seen like door jam but it takes off about of paint so if primer is gray you may not know are going down to the primer unitil

No, you need quite a bit more than just this. For effective priming, you need a sizing decapping die in station 2 (removing the decapping pin). You will also need calipers, scale, trimmer, case prep tool/system, ultra-sonic cleaner (optional rather than using a tumbler), tools for modifying the press if you do not have them (file, sandpaper, wrenches, screwdrivers, graphite powder etc), case lube ((and a lube pad optionally) although it does come with a small amount of lube).This one you may already have but a VERY sturdy bench/table. I would also really recommend a book to get the exact size, COL, powder amount etc that you need to get in the end result, in addition to the useful knowledge you will get.

YES. The military primer crimp needs to be cut out of the primer pocket, after removing the primer. This tool includes large and small primer pocket cleaners, as well as large and small bits for cutting out the military primer crimp. Despite what another reviewer said, this tool will indeed fit a .308 which uses a large rifle primer. In fact, I am using it for that very purpose. I use it for boxed primers. I'm not sure if it'll work for a berdan primer, but I assume it will. I typically discard brass having a berdan primer because I don't have a die for my press to remove them.

I only use it for re-sizing cast bullets but would guess you'd need an off press primer.

They work just be careful of the crimped primers they are more difficult to remove and the crimp needs to be removed to seat new primer there is a tool for that too.

Not needed. The Lee Safety Prime uses the standard shell holders for the press. The Hand Priming shell holders are specifically for use with the hand priming tool (where the primers are inserted seperately from the press, using a stand-alone tool). The Hand Priming shell holders are dimensionally different and are not as robust as the primary shell holders used for the press. I haven't actually tried to insert one of these in the press, so I don't know if it would even fit.

I use a cheaper primer from sensationails but I have done my nails without a primer. Just make sure to buff the nails first in order to remove any oils. You want them to be clean and oil free in order for the base to stick and not peel.

is does not prime.i use rcbs hand primer.or move up to a classic turret press.

Probably not because military brass tends to have the primer glued in and it's tough to get it out. I haven't gotten any of the primers out of mine but someone told me if you push it will pop out.
