When using a ram priming system like this, one way to avoid throwing primers across the room is to raise the ram all the way up, then insert the primer from above the shell holder.
The RCBS case lube leaves a residue that will tarnish your brass, even if it started nice and polished. You can wipe it off with a rag but I generally run it back through the tumbler with clean-dry media, and that will keep them polished.
50 brass has a different composition to it. When they get dull or a little corroded I tumble them until all the crud is gone. I have yet to wear a case out. I have only loaded this batch 5 times. When I get to the point where they need to be destroyed I'll post all the stats on it. You know, load, times fired and we'll do a case dissection.
Just a little trick, a 5/16" endmill measures .3125" and is the correct size for the 50 bmg primer pocket. Works extremely well and cleans the pocket also
Yes. Clear finger nail pilish works good. Just apply it where the primer and primer pocker radius meet.

Yes. The tunbler will hold about 20 of them. They come out pretty good actually. I was surprised.
