Kaldor Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Yeah, I emailed them yesterday. Supposedly they had to rework the design slightly again to ensure everything works correctly. I like the Winchester primers because they work and they are inexpensive by me. Would be nice if they can get them feeding correctly. They said mid May delivery. Guess Im stabbing primers for another month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowdyb Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 i gave mine away even after doing all of these mods and having multiple people who love them check mine out. not worth the time and frustration to me and I load quite a bit. would rather hunt and peck than deal with this product, even at $23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyLahey Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 couple of dumb questions for u. I got mine the other day. seems to work well and I didn't have to clean up too much flashing. I assumed though, mistakenly that I could fill my spare hornady tubes off of the vibra prime tube, but doing this turns the primers upside down. So in order to keep the correct orientation I need to go direct from the vibraprime into the press tube. Or am I overlooking something? I would like to get a setup down to where I could store 5-10 extra tubes full of primers ready to resupply the press quickly so I could pound out rounds fast in a reloading session. What would you recommend doing in that case? I tried taking the vibraprime tube out of the black plastic piece that plugs into the blue unit. But that sucker is in there tight. I'm not sure how much force the OP used to get his tube out? I'm wondering if going to the hardware store and just buying some correct size aluminum tubing, cutting to length and drilling a hole for the cotter pin, and capping the top with something for storage would be a good way out???

I'm not sure why your primers are flipping, I do know you are technically supposed to fill the VP tube then in to your press, but I don't do it that way.I have 15 tubes now.... 3 are stock Dillon tubes, the other 12 I did a little research on what the OD/ID of the filler tubes are and then I ordered 2 6ft sections of tube stock and cut my own. I bought Dillion's filler tube tips and use those on the ones I made. I also have a few where I just drilled and put a cotter pin through it like you suggested. Instead of spending hundreds on extra tubes I think it cost me. Grand total of about 30 minutes and roughly $25. If you want to remove the black plastic lug on the VP tube...pliers and twist. The tube has ears on it that holds it in to the plastic lug. Hope that helps! Edited June 16, 2015 by Vanniek71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xrayfk05 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I just pour them from the VP tube to the primer tubes, "problem" solved. (ie. the black part that inserts into the VP goes on the open side of the primer tube) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaldor Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Just a quick heads up for this thread I did finally get my "new and improved" VibraPrime yesterday via a warranty claim. Not sure what they changed. Have not tested it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And can save $$ on the bottom tips by drilling a hole in the tube and sticking a cotter pin through it. If you go that route the tubes are super cheap. Just make sure you add 1/2" or so to compensate for the tips not being on there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valerko Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I use stock tube and from there I "pour" them into spare hornady tubes I have.Just align feeding end of the tube with "dumping" end of hornady tube and they go right in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rev1911 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) I realize this thread is almost a year old, but figured I might get a better response here I just got a vibra prime, and right out of the box it is working perfectly with S&B small pistol. Gobbles them right up and I'm happy. Not so much with the large pistol. The primers enter the drop hole in the tray, flip sideways and just get stuck. No amount of shaking or tapping will get it unstuck. I used a small needle file to clean up the hole, but no improvement. I'm a little concerned about making the hole too big? Any suggestions? I'm just using the Dillon tubes with no plastic adapter. Edited May 3, 2016 by rev1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanniek71 Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 Use some fine sandpaper and just run it through the hole a bit at a time. I had to do it to clean mine up too when I first got it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyjones Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I never did anything w/ sandpaper. It just takes a bit to find the correct angle to hold the thing at. Once you discover that, it eats almost any primer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rev1911 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I'm just using the Dillon tubes with no plastic adapter. You might try it with the stuff they send with it. Yep I did, no difference. The primers aren't even making it past the hole in the clear tray. I'm gonna try more sanding this weekend. I figure it couldn't get any worse, the large pistol side is basically useless right now.

doctordan70s Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I push down on the back of the prImer tray and viola they feed perfectly. Before I pushed down on the primer tray I was having a few hang at the hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 As jmorris suggested nine runs best with the included fa tube which I then dump straight into the press. The few I had hang up near the hole was from anvils that stick up a hair higher than others and was dragging on the top cover. Next time one sticks there try a little upward pressure on the top cover. I bet that frees it. With federal primers, the regular tube mine is now running 100% with no mods at all. Now takes maybe 10 seconds to fill a tube. I don't bother filling dillon tubes now. Just fill the fa tube and dump in the press as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
