The RCBS 90201 Universal Priming Tool is a hand-operated reloading solution built to handle multiple calibers without requiring caliber-specific equipment swaps. Whether you're prepping rifle cases from .32 ACP up to .45-70 Government or pistol rounds in between, the universal shell holder eliminates the need for separate tools for each cartridge—a genuine time-saver if you reload across a range of calibers. This is the precision reloading tool for handloaders who want straightforward, reliable primer seating without fuss.
What sets the 90201 apart is the integrated safety gate, which isolates your primer seating operation from your primer supply. That design detail matters: it reduces the risk of tray detonation, giving you peace of mind during a long reloading session. The removable primer tray is oriented to guide primers cleanly into position and works with any manufacturer's primer packaging—no proprietary trays required. The tray itself is easy to service and swap out when needed.
The tool ships with accessory inserts for both large and small rifle primers as well as large and small pistol primers, so you can seat whatever your current load calls for without hunting down additional components. For reloaders who work with multiple caliber families, the universal priming tool consolidates your bench space and your workflow into one compact, proven performer.
