    DAA mr bullet feeder issues

    How about a little more angle to your feeder? I have noticed that once in a while, I too have bullets 'loose' near the shim (not very often), but they never fall down to the press. My guess is a little more angle will be your friend here.

    I messed with the angle and I’m getting upside down bullets lol I’ve thought about putting skateboard tape on the shims!

    I’ve had this feeder for 2-3 years now and it works ok.  I was wondering if anyone made a guard to block the bullets from slipping off the very top of the feeder. The part that I’m talking about is where the shins are. I think the bullets are slipping off and me working the press makes the bullets fall out of the feeder. This happens 2-3 times out of 100 and it’s annoying. 

    Belt Keepers

    Just 1. I have 2 spares cause I keep loosing them. After I get done I wrap them around the handles of my range bag so I don’t loose them. I haven’t had my gun belt fall off in a match or practice cause I use the keeper. During dryfire tho, my belt has fallen off. That alone will always make me use it when I’m dealing with a loaded gun. 

    Anyone tried TULA primers before?

    Name brand primers cost 3-3.2 cents each. Saving 0.2 -0.4 cents per round with crappy primers makes no sense. Penny wise and pound foolish. Spend money to enter and travel to matches and have a primer fail makes no sense.. Buy good stuff and pay attention when assembling it.

    Nope. I can get Tula primers for $100 bucks a case and even less if I buy 3 or more cases at a time so...there’s that..

    Hi Guys,

     

    Allow me to share some updates with you.

    Myself, the design and assembly team at DAA worked very hard on the Primer-Pro, and we truly believe in its design and ability to be the solution so many of us reloaders have been waiting for for years.

    We tested the design extensively, and run every unit for 5 tubes (feeding 500 primers) before shipping out. We were very confident the first few hundred units we shipped out were perfect.

    And believe me, we worked hard ( and I mean LOTS of effort and overtime) to get the units shipped out ahead of schedule.

     

    Unfortunately, the feedback we are getting from some users forces us to accept that there are issues we missed. It seem the primers we were testing with ( 3 brands) were not fully representative of the range of primer dimensions which are out there. This leads to some unacceptable upside-down primers getting through, due to the gap between the primer disk and timing disk being a hair too large for the smaller primers found in some brands, where the tolerances in primer height is greater  than we expected or accounted for.

     

    And I FULLY agree that even ONE single upside down primer per tube is one too many! And we have done many runs here with our primers where 0/1000 upside-down were recorded.

     

    So, we have spent most of the past week working on this issue, and we believe we now have a good solution, which is an easy retro-fit to the units already out there and the new ones about to ship out. A laser cut spacer of 0.2mm can be fitted into the primer disk, and it effectively reduces the gap and eliminates those reverse primers. Also a coarser threaded screw for better assembly tension will be used.

    We have tested with 11 primer brands so far with perfect results. We are waiting on 2 more brands we have not yet tested with (including the magtech mentioned above) and will confirm with those too. Believe me, after all the R&D time, effort and money put into the Primer-Pro, we have no intention to allow this to be less than perfect!

     

    I urge any early adopters who already received their unit -if you are having any issues with reversed primers – email me at daa@doublealpha.biz so we can send you the spacer and screws. Please do that and allow us the chance to show you the  product will work as advertised, rather than rushing to trash it on forum boards and SM.

     

    To all those waiting for delivery in the USA: We already shipped a few hundred units to the US, but I put a hold on distributing those last week, as soon as we became away of the issue discussed here. We want to ensure that no matter what primer you choose to use, the product functions perfectly.

    Resolving this issue in volume will take a couple of weeks, due to the holidays here in Europe. We need to purchase the material required for these spacers and laser cut them, then get them added to all units. This will cause a 2-3 week delay in delivery. I Sincerely apologize for that. If anyone prefers not to wait and wishes to cancel his order for a refund – that is surely possible.

     

    I thank you for taking the time to read this update, and I hope you will give us a little time to make sure this product lives up to the potential we know that it has.

     

    On behalf of all the hard working team at DAA, I wish you a healthy,  happy and successful 2020!

    Did you guys use different primers During testing? Sounds like a dumb question but have been hearing a lot of bad things so far with different primers fouling up the system. Lol You guys arnt known for using high quality material in your products.  Really want this to work but when I saw your first YouTube video, I was kinda disappointed. Looks like you used a lot of cheap plastic again. Hope it works out. I’ve had a lot of your products and have been really disappointed in the quality. Maybe you guys can release a beefier and better quality product.
