Smeeg Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I wish Dillon would make a 7 stage progressive press and there own brand of bullet feeder and it had a primer swager and if we're wishing might as well ask for all of that at the price of a 650.

Smeeg Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 It probably can't be done for saftey reasons but if we're dreaming a fully automatic primer filler essentially a rf100 that sits on top of the press with a cut off switch just dump In the primers like a case feeder.

Kind of like a 2 station auto indexer for rifle brass. I could envision it being manually fed with the right hand, handle operated with left hand so no need for brass feeder, and ejecting into a bucket on the left side. Of course I'm left handed, lol...

Not that I'm opposed to 3, but I don't think it's absolutely necessary. I guess a trim me could go in a 3rd station... Price would be rising now... Wonder if this could be accomplished with an SDB or modified SDB? Edited December 11, 2015 by jkrispies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom S. Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 A bullet feeder that would: > Use the current bullet seating stage and die in the 650 > Work with cast bullets, coated bullets or jacketed bullets regardless of shape > Provide adapters for various calibers > Cost under $400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimk60 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) fully automatic primer filler +1. Or pre-filled 100 primer tubes, from the factory. (I know, it can't be done - but, dreaming .... Try a Frankfort Arsenal Vibra Prime. I loaded exactly one Dillon primer tube and determined there had to be a better way. Enter the Vibra Prime. Some hate some love it. Not so good with Win primers, but everything else, CCi, S&B it's super. I can load 100 primers into a feed tube in under 20 seconds all day long. WIth shaking to get all primers oriented correctly, assembly of Vibra Prime, inserting primer tube, and loading tube, I can load 5 tubes (500 primers) in about 5 minutes total.

echotango Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) I've loaded 5k plus win primers so far with the vibra prime with 0 issues. Edited December 11, 2015 by echotango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miranda Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 hi echotango, here on this forum there have been a few posts about the dust the vibraprime causes and that may be the reason for the primer tube explosions. (the dust) do you clean the tubes? In any case, I think this is the reason for the primer loading alternative. I would like to toss the primers in a hopper and have them presented much like the casefeeder. I might hiss at the price for such a device, however. miranda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miranda Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Hi ET. here is the first thread I found on the subject. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=225407 I took it as; if you use a vibra prime, you should clean the tubes on a regular basis. cleanings aside, the vibra prime seems a good idea. I do like good gizmos, so I am open to alternatives. miranda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echotango Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) Thanks. I have been happy with it so far. Can't beat it for $45. Edited December 11, 2015 by echotango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry White Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I've had a primer explosion with a 650 and I have a vibra prime. The explosion was years before anyone ever heard of a vibra prime. That vibra prime has handled untold thosands of primers without a problem.-----------Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrispies Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 How about a foam lined die that can be soaked in rifle lube and placed in a first station (of our fictional rifle prep press perhaps?) that will lube shouldered brass for us?

Intel6 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) RCBS does make that that already, called a Lube Die. It is a hollow bodied decapping die with different sized felt inserts that are saturated with lube so you decap and lube before sizing. They came out with this when they started doing their progressive presses. Neal in AZ Edited December 12, 2015 by Intel6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
