Being new to reloading, which primer tool would be recommended? I bought the RCBS kit and hate the primer tool that comes with the kit, very problematic. Every thing else in the kit seem to be top notch and works well.

If you are referring to the hand held primer that comes with the RCBS Supreme, I don't like it either. If my cases don't need trimming, I'll de-prime, size and prime on the press. I still hand prime a few but find the press works best for me. Most folks prefer the hand primer though, I always thought I was an oddball for not.

If you have the Supreme it should have come with the primer parts for the press
