Introducing the BASE CPS (Competition Primer Seater)
http://www.baseprecision.com/products/cps
We are excited to announce the opening of a pre-order for the most innovative and unique primer seating tool that we have ever seen at Primal Rights. For the next month, the CPS will be available at an introductory price of $350 with free shipping, rather than the normal retail price of $450. Use coupon code BASEINTRO to secure your savings during checkout. Units will begin shipping in September 2014. We will be holding a drawing and selecting one of the pre-order customers for a free CPS!

The CPS was designed to address the need for a robust and precise high-volume primer seating tool. The limitations of other priming tools are self-evident to those that have used them for a 300, 500, or 1000rnd priming session. Hand priming tools can cause extreme fatigue in your thumbs and hands. This is especially true when you have a batch of brass with tight primer pockets. They can also be very dangerous as their plastic trays are sometimes turned into deadly shrapnel when a faulty or improperly seated primer causes every primer in the tray to simultaneously explode. The bench-mounted units are often quite a lot safer, but generally much slower. They also often lack the same "feel" you get with the hand priming tools.
Recognizing these deficiencies, we set out to design the worlds best priming tool, with all of the strengths of other units, but none of their weaknesses.
The BASE CPS is the most versatile dedicated priming tool in existence. It uses readily available and inexpensive Lee shell holders (or other compatible brands) to accommodate almost all cartridges on the market. We have custom shell holders available for 50BMG and 416Barret. This will finally give the 50BMG competition shooters a fast, precise, and robust dedicated priming tool, instead of forcing them to use their presses for priming. With use of the Sinclair 408CheyTac shell holder, 375CT and 408CheyTac users now have a precision priming tool to use as well.
Good for right-handed or left-handed use. The handle and shell holder retainer on the CPS can be moved to accommodate any bench position or priming style you prefer.
Speed, without sacrificing precision or reliability. Some priming tools are very fast. Others are very precise. The CPS is the only priming tool to combine both features into a single unit. You can achieve seating depths accurate to within a thousandth of an inch, all while priming at a comfortable rate of over 20 cases per minute. At that pace you can easily prime over a thousand cases per hour.
Absolute precision primer seating depths. Precision rifle shooters know that one of the keys to reducing your extreme velocity spread is to ensure consistent powder ignition. The CPS has a revolutionary adjustable shell holder system which allows you to raise and lower your case in relation to the priming rod. You can seat the primer deeper or shallower in .001" increments. The adjustment mechanism has a clicker, to ensure you stay on your desired seating depth. One click = One thousandth of an inch adjustment.
Universal primer tube loaded. You can use nearly any brand of primer tube for simple and effective loading of primers into the tool. No more plastic trays to break or fumble with. As long as the tubes have an outside diameter of .312" or so, you can use them with the CPS.
Integrated shuttle feeding system. The CPS uses a manually-operated shuttle system to slide primers from the primer tube into position over the primer rod. This ensures that any jams or misaligned primers are easily and safely discovered by the operator. Slight finger pressure is all that is required to position a primer for seating. The shuttle then automatically resets to home position to pick up another primer.
Bench-mounted for rigidity and repeatability. The CPS is a bench-mounted priming tool. This ensures a controlled and static orientation of the case being primed, so that if a faulty primer detonates, the blast will be directed straight upwards rather than in a random direction. Being mounted to a bench also allows for a consistent technique and operation of the priming tool.
Rotational drive system. Nearly all other priming tools on the market utilize a pivot drive system to provide leverage. The drawback with those systems is that the amount of force required to achieve the desired leverage changes through the tools range of motion. Unlike pivot-driven designs, the CPS provides an accurate and constant feel through the entire range of motion. This, combined with the extreme strength and rigidity of the CPS ensures that you will "feel" each primer as it is being seated. This is important so that worn out brass can be identified and culled when you feel a loose primer pocket.
As always, let me know if you have any questions at all!
