Hornady Primer Turning Tray - Precision Reloading Tool for Consistent Primer Seating

If you're setting up a progressive or semi-progressive reloading press with automatic primer feed, the Hornady Primer Turning Tray is a small but essential piece of your bench kit. This tool orients primers uniformly—either cup-side up or cup-side down—before they enter your pick-up tube, eliminating the random orientation that can jam feeders or cause inconsistent seating. Whether you're a high-volume handloader or someone who simply wants smoother, more reliable priming, this tray removes a real friction point in the reloading cycle.

Primer orientation matters more than most reloaders realize. A hopper full of randomly oriented primers forces your automatic feeder to work harder, slowing your pace and introducing the risk of jams or missed primers. The Hornady Tray lets you sort primers quickly and consistently, feeding your system exactly what it expects. It's the kind of tool that pays for itself in peace of mind and wasted brass saved.

Built by Hornady, a name synonymous with reloading equipment and precision ammunition, this tray is straightforward, reliable, and made to last. Add it to your priming station and you'll wonder how you worked without it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a primer turning tray if I use automatic primer feed?

If your press has an automatic primer feeder with a pick-up tube, this tray is highly recommended. It ensures all primers enter the system in the same orientation, preventing jams and feeding failures that occur when primers are randomly oriented.

Will this work with any primer size?

The product information provided does not specify primer size compatibility. We recommend checking with Hornady or contacting our team to confirm compatibility with your specific primer type.

Can I use this tray with a manual priming tool?

This tray is designed specifically for automatic primer feed systems with pick-up tubes. Manual priming setups have different workflow requirements and may not benefit from this tool in the same way.
