Just finished seating a couple of hundred primers in some Bertram brass and they were TIGHT. Now I have a sore thumb from using two hands on my crappy Lee Autoprime XR that is held together with masking tape so I'm after something better with a bit more leverage and easier to use.
Are the K&M any good or should I look at something else? Just wondering what others are using.

I have the 21st Century priming unit and can highly recommend it. It seems to have more leverage than the K&M unit plus the added benefit of quick 0.0001 adjustments.

I have used others but not extensively. Those that have seen or used mine have always commented with praise.

Agree that the 21st Century unit is excellent. Far more leverage and much smoother than a Lee which is the main reason I bought it for very tight primer pockets.
Solid and well made to last a lifetime.
Whatever you do, do not buy a new generation Lee. The old Lee ones have their place and I use one for much of my loading. No idea about the K&M.

When I got the C21 one, I was a bit worried that hand feeding primers singly by hand would be a real pain but it has turned out faster than I expected.

Borrowed a 21ST Century with the black square LEE tray with adjustable depth , had to use it for tight pockets and CCI magnum primers and I can swear by how easy it was , my old Lee was ready to break ! I have ordered one directly as no one here will import them

21st Century all the way...

Highly recommend the 21stC tool. I have the older one that gives just over 2 thou adjustment per click. I can set it between clicks to give just over 1 thou. Their new model has finer adjustment @ just over a thou per click. Beautifully made gear.

I recently also bought the top model K&M. Compared to the 21stC I am disappointed. It doesn't have the power of the 21stC and despite all its clever measuring of each primer the resultant depths don't gel when I measure them with a depth micrometer.

Probably too late by Stuart and Annie Elliott at BRT stock them (and other C21 products) & they are showing 7 currently in stock.
