sroe3 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 My new VibraPrime has an issue. Every primer tips into the hole and won't drop through to the tube. I tried feeding them slower or faster but no difference. I'm loading Win SPP and using the correct end of the flip tray and correct filler tube. Any ideas? I was stoked to get it and I'd hate to have to take it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngeyes Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Smooth out the hole in the tray using a thin dowel wraped in fine sandpaper. Even a small amount of roughness will grasp the primer and flip it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a matt Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) That worked on mine. The tip had some extra plastic on it. Now all is good to go. Edited March 23, 2013 by a matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I don't use the tubes that came with my VibraPrime. I just pull the end off of the Dillon tubes and use them never experienced a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroe3 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 One of my chainsaw files is small and fine so I used that to groom the drop hole a little. That helped a lot, just a little more work to get it perfect. The primers drop much better into the Dillon tubes, some better than others. I might file a little bevel into the end of the primer tubes that don't feed so well. I should actually clean them first, that might be all it takes.

prebancolt Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I Also Noticed That Unmodified, It Doesn't Like Remington Primers, But CCIs Work Great. I Still Think I'm Going To Open Up The Drop Hole A Little So All Brands Work Well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzi Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) My new Vibraprime arrive last week via Natcho's. I had to deburr mine as well as described above. Large primers were not a issue but on the small primer side that hole had a teeny burr causing issues. I also polished the tubes inside with the aide of a appropriate sized barrel mop and polishing compound. THis last really wasn't needed I just like polishing things for no apparent reason. Works great for me now. Small and large primers with no more tilting at the hole and getting jammied sideways. I use the tubes that came with the VibraPrime. I don't know why people don't like em. They work just fine for me transfering the primers from the VibraPrime tube direcd to my Dillon 650 press. I did however put a additional chamfer on the end of the VibraPrime aluminum primer tubes to aide a closer fit to the primer magazine cap on the 650. I see no need for my current Dillon primer pickup tubes. I sold the spare ones I had on Ebay for some PHAT PROFITS and am sitting here wondering why not sell the last two I have for yet more obscene profit. Eh, I better keep them in case the batteries die on my new vibrator. Edited March 25, 2013 by Buzi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a matt Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Wow and all I did was stick a sharp in the tip of the tube and turn it. Works great. I fill 5 tube and start the reloading. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
