The extractor is very handy when you complete your roll crimp. The shell can become wedged in the turnover head and the extractor makes it easier to remove the shell. Don't be alarmed at the appearance of the primer after seating it with that tool. I have seen many old-time handloads with primers that were seated with cappers of different designs and they made me wonder how they didn't go off during the seating process. After acquiring numerous tools of varying quality, it is easy to see the difference between them. Also, the antique tools were often intended to seat a No. 2 primer, which was the large pistol primer. A modern battery cup primer will require much more force to seat. Have fun!
