JatCarver Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Love that stand for the pal filler! Ever thing about making some to sell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimk60 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Seems like most of the loaders on this site are certainly willing to use the best equipment they can afford to complete a task. I have used a VP for loading primer tubes since the first week I got my 650 installed (about 1.5 years) I used the peck method ONCE and determined there had to be another way. Enter the VP, been using it ever since. Saw video of PAL in action and here is what I came away with. PRO: 1. Excellent if not outstanding quality construction. Will last a life time. 2. Improved design to funnel the primers to the pickup tube. 3. Designed to be used with standard primer tubes, no special 'Fit and Twist' tubes needed. CON: 1. Price- listed in the US at $225 vs VP at $49.95. If the price were more like $125 or $150, it would be much more attractive. Otherwise I stick with the VP. Plus I would have to get PMD to make that fabulous stand available! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeeg Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 "Designed to be used with standard primer tubes, no special 'Fit and Twist' tubes needed" You simply take that fit and twist tube out of the VP and shove a Dillon tube in there works awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started doing it last session and saves a bit of time. I think I want to upgrade to an RF100 though. Loading up 10 tubes at once is still a chore.

TONY BARONE Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Have two Pal Fillers never have flipped primers. The RF-100 is a book end, never worked . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscott Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 My vibra prime runs about 95% with some primers getting jammed up with nearly every 100. It's a lot better than pecking, but still needs a little work. I'm going to have to try a PAL in hopes of smoothing out the operation. When I sit down to load ammo, that's what I want to do, not curse the VP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwmax2000 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I like and use the Vibra-prime,,,I made a video on it.....ck it out here; https://youtu.be/Da2sjLKtQOY?list=PLGIcbXKjB2nQyfhP6mcQv6ObUBGiAXpfw there may be better ones, but i have to work from a budget on all my gun related adventures and I have to max out my bang for the buck and it works perfectly......Cmax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be glad to take that bookend off your hands, with intentions of using it for what it was designed...and I am serious. Pm me. jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashDodson Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 PAL Filler is awesome! Hand crafted in Italy out of solid block of aluminum. Open division primer tube filler. That one looks nice but they are really proud of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one looks nice but they are really proud of it. When CNC machining is involved it's not going to be cheap. Umberto should be proud of it. It's an awesome piece of equipment.

Neomet Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 RF100 that I scored off a prize table. Best thing I ever got. Probably loaded well over 60K rounds and I would be surprised if I get a slipped primer or two every 5K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LM2032 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) I picked up a Vibra Prime a while back. It works decent. Its a lot easier and faster than loading tubes by hand. I occasionally have a primer jam in there...usually Federal small pistol primers, but nothing bad. Edited February 23, 2016 by LM2032 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray_Z Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Just took your ideas to heart. Sprung the bucks at Midway.com and ordered the Vibra Prime. BTW, they're on sale for $39.95 right now. But they are still putting one of their kids through school with their shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Bird Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 RF100 is key to volume reloading sessions. ~g I spend more time keeping the rf 100 running then if I just loaded the tubes by hand. +1 for that. Never saw the RF100 run more the 1 box of primers with out some problem. Up side down primers is the normal, and bunched up at the loading hole another.

Steve_53 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I had contacted Umberto via Facebook, and ordered my PalFiller directly from him - he accepts PayPal and ships via international FedEx - IIRC, total was $195 and I had it in 3 days.

dansedgli Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I bought an rf100 for less than half the retail. Hopefully i can get it to work when it arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerBaron Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Does no one use the hornady 1911 shaped one? I use the fa one and its been awesome for me. No modding. It worked out of the box. Dumps 100 primers in about 10 seconds or less. No flipped ones or jams. The caveat being I only load small pistol and small rifle primers and basically only federal.

Perhaps he prefers the paper trail, albeit electronic, the web provides? When working, email was my preferred form of contact as it left no doubt as to what was said and what wasn't, and that element was quite useful at times.

Hammer1 Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 As a seller they can limit their sales to those who like internet purchases. And I guess that number will grow with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
