Primers- more, faster.

Nothing beats the Dillon RF for speed. You spend maybe 5 seconds dumping a tray in and go back to loading. When you need another tube of primers they are waiting.

Take off the pick up tip and just hold the tube up into the VP. Works fine.

^^^^^ This. That exactly what I do.

I’m in the rf 100 boat as well, you really can’t beat it. Really does save a lot of time.   At ten minutes per 1000 every 5k costs you 50 minutes that you could be doing something else.

Yup, like saving the world or replying to threads on this forum, lol.

Make sure its on a solid base, test it on a concrete floor if its not working right.    When a bench or table its on is absorbing some of its mojo it seems to slow its performance.   If it works well on a solid floor (not a wood floor), then up the base its on when on the bench like a 1" slab of granite salvaged from the local granite countertop contractors scrap pile.   (If all they have is huge chunks, just hit one against the other and the stuff brakes supper easy.   I have hand chipped the chunks I have needed into the size of pieces I wanted. )  

 

Love my RF100's.   I fill the press, return the main tube to the RF100, dump in another 100 primers, hit go and go back to loading on my press.   Repeat. I always have a load of primers waiting for me when I need them.

Im sure the RF is nice but the FA is $40 Get this and make 10 tubes. You can get from mcmaster carr. and through dillon tips on. You can load 10 tubes in 5 minutes. and be good for a decent loading session.

Small Primer tube = .183 ID x 5/16" OD Part #89965K18
Large Primer tube = .215 ID x 5/16" OD Part #89965K472

Thanks for the part numbers. You just saved me from measuring the tubes and looking for that size tubing. I was going to get some tubing for more tubes anyway and was thinking about the Vibra Prime (BTW it's $39.69 at Vizard's https://vizardsgunsandammo.com/f-a-vibra-prime-automatic-primer-tube-filler/ ) to speed up the process as it takes me 2 minutes to fill one tube manually.

 

I love this forum for the info it has to offer.

the line up and hold dillon tube under vibra prime method without the adapters takes 10 seconds once you find the right angle to hold it at. you just cant crowd the area by where they drop
