The RCBS Automatic Priming Tool Stop Pin (Model R09595) is a high-precision, mechanical replacement part designed to regulate live primer flow during the bench-top reloading process. This compact, metallic cylindrical pin sits at the base of the feed arm directly beneath the primer feed tube, acting as a physical gate to prevent the accidental spillage of sensitive primers. By utilizing a fully manual, spring-loaded movement, the pin retracts momentarily when depressed by the priming rod cup, allowing exactly one primer to drop cleanly into place for seating. This hands-free mechanism eliminates the need for manual handling, protecting primers from oil contamination and ensuring reliable ignition.

Key Features

• Live Primer Flow Control: Blocks live primers at the base of the feed tube, preventing accidental drops and workshop spillage.
• Automatic Gate Release: Retracts mechanically when the priming rod cup depresses the pin, ensuring precisely one primer drops per cycle.
• Hands-Free Safety: Minimizes physical contact with sensitive primers, protecting them from finger oils and reducing potential misfires.
• Universal Primer Compatibility: Engineered to function seamlessly with both small and large primer sizes, ranging from small pistol to large rifle primers.

Who is the Rcbs Automatic Priming Tool Stop Pin for?

• Handloaders servicing an RCBS Automatic Priming Tool — require this mechanical replacement pin to safely gate and control a capacity of up to 100 primers within the feed tube during single-stage bench priming.
• Reloaders maintaining an RCBS Automatic Primer Feed Combo — need this reloading press replacement pin to restore the automatic gating mechanism that manages a capacity of up to 100 primers in the feed assembly of Model 09580.

Less suitable for: high-volume progressive reloading operations. When transitioning to rapid, high-speed loading thresholds where standalone bench priming tools are bypassed, handloaders are better served by automatic, press-integrated priming slide bars or rotary priming systems built directly into a progressive press.
