priming tool mod

(Re video - I do not place my hand over the mouth of the case in which I am seating a primer.)

If you turn the RCBS Hand Priming Tool upside down the primer seating rod falls out.

Disassemble the priming tool.

About an eighth of an inch from the rounded end, file/saw a thin notch about 1/3 through the primer seating rod.

Grasp the end of the tool operating spring with ViseGrip WR5 and bend the end of the spring half closed.

Press the primer seating rod through the spring. The half-closed spring will grasp the notch near the rounded end of the primer seating rod.

Reassemble the tool.

Turn the tool upside down if you wish. The primer seating rod won't fall out.
