ChuckS Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Yeah, among others. I have used it for more than 10 years... http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=227969 http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=227198 http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=198782 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfalcon00 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Yeah I like mine there are some mods that make it even better too. Mine was good enough straight out of the box though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slotbike Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) I have one, it doesn't work. The primers won't go into the tube. That and my RF 100's are a source of frustration and I find myself lately just pecking at primers, the old fashioned way!

DudeRick Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 The worst reloading device that I have ever purchased... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertg5322 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Works great for small primers. Large not so well. You gotta mess with it to find out what makes it work. I have the Dillon thing, but keep getting flipped primers (only about 1 or 2 per 100, but that's annoying as hell). Someday I'm going to sit down and make that thing (the Dillon) work 100%. Someday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashDodson Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 I only load small primers. So hopefully I will have good luck with it Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amokscience Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 It requires manual fixing (sanding, filing, etc) to work properly. Once it works it's great. 20k+ rounds and counting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeeg Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I asked pall filler on Facebook how much he responded 190 euros shipped=209 us according to Google so IMHO either $209 for something to work out of box of $40 and less than an hour of your time for the vibra prime or step u to the rf100 and so,e people still complain they get flipped primers.

GregJ Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Sounds like we need another group buy. I am disappointed with the VP, My cobbled together Lee primer filler works so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HA....I did the same thing. Was given the same info, but asked about a group buy. Was quoted 150 euros each for 10 units. Some food for thought.

RDA Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Mine worked great right out of the box with small primers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD1 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I have used one for three years now, with last year loading 126,000 primers of small and large pistol and small rifle primers from cci or winchester. I did once polished the tray with my dremel for smoother dropping. And I drop directly into the dillon primer tubes. I don't fuss with transferring from vp tubes. However, no system is perfect and sometimes a primer will hangup so care must always be used. When this wears out, I will happily buy another.

FTDMFR Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Dropping directly into the Dillon tubes makes a world of difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al503 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Dropping directly into the Dillon tubes makes a world of difference. Yup. I don't know if I even really tried the FA primer tube. Used the Dillon tubes without issue. You stick them in and twist/angle them slightly until the primers start to drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashDodson Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 Just got mine and had them repeatedly stick where the tray narrows or would get stuck at the edge of the hole... Guess ill be trying the mods Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcarpenter82 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I love mine. Ive yet to do any mods. I even chamfered the FA tubes and they work great. Money well spent. From flipping the primers to filling the tube, less than 3o seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
