When paired with standard RCBS primer feed tubes, this unit holds up to 100 primers at a time and accommodates both standard Large and Small Boxer-type primers for rifle and pistol. Please note that it is strictly incompatible with .50 BMG or shotshell primers.

No electrical certifications such as SAA or RCM are required for this product. The RCBS Primer Dispenser is 100% mechanical, functioning simply as the mounting housing and dispenser body for your turret press priming setup.

Primer Dispenser - RCBS R788253

The RCBS Primer Dispenser (Part #788253) is a dedicated mechanical replacement housing designed for the priming feed assembly on the RCBS Turret Press. Serving as Key #16 on the factory parts schematic, this dispenser block mounts to the press to properly seat and align the primer feed tube over the transfer bar and primer plug assembly. It facilitates the individual dispensing of standard small and large Boxer-type primers for rifle and pistol cartridges without requiring direct manual handling, helping prevent primer contamination from skin oils and dirt during the reloading process.

Key Features

Factory Replacement Component: Direct OEM replacement (Part #788253 / R788253) designed to restore the factory tube-priming mechanism on an RCBS Turret Press.
Contamination-Free Dispensing: Feeds primers individually down the tube assembly directly into the priming transfer bar to reduce misfeeds and eliminate direct finger contact with primers.
Boxer Primer Compatibility: Works with both standard Large and Small Boxer-type rifle and pistol primers when fitted with the appropriate RCBS transfer bars and feed tubes.
100% Mechanical Operation: Requires no electrical connections, batteries, or external power sources for bench operation.
