Smitty79 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I use the flip tray from a vibra prime. I just tap it instead of plugging into the grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 PAL Filler is awesome! Hand crafted in Italy out of solid block of aluminum. Open division primer tube filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjohn Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Vibra Prime. No problems and worked straight out of the box. I have not made any modifications to it. Bought it on sale it Midway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeeg Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Vibra prime works great for me after you get the hang of it. I'm sure the rf-100 is better but at 9x the price I couldn't bring myself to do it. ANYTHING is better than hand pecking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hvsmith Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 PAL Filler, built to last a few life-times, could be considered a lethal weapon if you decided to throw it at someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeeg Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) rf-100 $325+$48 for large primer conversion=$373 no need for extra primer tubes Vibra prime $40(fluctuates)+ 4 pack of primer tubes$24=$64 Pal filler $215-$235(from quick google search)+4 pack of primer tubes$24= $239-$259 (I know some people already have the primer tubes) IMHO the pal filler at that price point doesn't makes sense your only $115-$135 away from the rf-100 even less if you only need one primers size. I know the pal filler fit and finish blows the vibra prime out of the water and will probably last longer but will it lasrt 5x as long? I know Dillon Has stated they will never make a hand held unshielded primer filler for saftey reasons and they do have a point I've never seen or heard of one blowing up but something to think about.

Tom S. Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 RF 100. It can be a bit finicky to set up but once it's right, it's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer1 Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 Does anyone know where you can buy a PAL filler these days ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Does anyone know where you can buy a PAL filler these days ? I sent an email to the maker in Italy. I'll let you know something when I hear back. When I bought mine we did a 20 unit group buy. That will be the best way to get one now as well I believe. The US distributors have been sold out for a while. Probably too pricey for the average joe to warrant keeping them in stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregJ Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 The one I built from a lee primer tray. Takes about 20-30 sec per tube. My VP sits in the drawer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWFAN Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Another PAL user here. Sarge hooked us up and we saved a few bucks on a large order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tha1000 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I looked at all the options mentioned above and wound up just buying more primer tubes... fill them while watching tv or when I have nothing better to do. Just couldn't justify the costs of the pal or rf100 and the vibraprime seems to be hit or miss... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eern Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 vibraprime. Like lots have stated that it takes a bit to get the angles down, but 90% 100 primers in under 15 seconds. Love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louu Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 The one I built from a lee primer tray. Takes about 20-30 sec per tube. My VP sits in the drawer. I thought about trying that, do you have any pictures of how you did it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Get a group together and email the maker at Info@pal-filler.com. He'll cut you a deal, offer color selections and split up shipping for you. FYI group buys are not allowed here so you'll have to figure it out through PM or local shooters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWFAN Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I bought a tube from Grainger, cut it down and drilled holes for paperclips. I preload 12 tubes with the Pal-filler before loading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
