MacLethal Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 If it is a $200 or under for a price point I’m buying one. The RF100 I’ve heard is ok. It for the price not as good as it should be. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiller Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I'm in for sure. I like my RF100 over filling tubes by hand....but like all things Dillon it only works so well! If the price point is correct they will be on backorder for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrussell Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Never could get my Dillon RF100 to work right. Just gave up and went to hand filling. I have a PAL filler but definitely be up for the DAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 13 hours ago, chevrofreak said: The issue is the angle. The collator appears to be at a 45 degree angle, and so is the tube it is filling. Surely someone will come up with a tube that has a graceful curve from 45 to vertical, so that we can mount this thing atop the press. The issue then is losing your visual indicator AND the buzzer when primers run low. I’d want some sort of witness hole to show me how many are in the stack - which isn’t feasible due to danger in the event of a detonation in the tube!

chevrofreak Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I think a replacement tube all together would be the way to go to shorten the stack of primers and get the collator down to a more accessible height. Maybe they can develop something that is built specifically for this purpose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youngeyes Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Nice idea. Takes me less than 2 minutes to load a tube with my PAL filler. I love a good gadget but think I'll just save the money for a new gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V2plus25 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I’m just happy if this fills primer tubes without any issues. I’m fine to feed my press a tube at a time. If nothing else, when a primer issue appears it’s easier to fix when I know there aren’t more than 100 in there at any one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I still would like to see an on press collator that didn’t cost half as much as a small car when all is said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gviz Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) I’m very frustrated with my priming of small pistol primers! FA vibra prime = gets it done 100% no flipped primers but still needs 2 hands fiddling around until all 100 primers get in. Then I have to transfer it to 8 tubes before starting my reloading session. dillon RF100 = faster than the vibra prime and finally after months tinkering I got it to work with small pistol primers 99%! but, I still have to deal with upside down primers about 8/1000! Can’t take my eyes off of it! I have to baby sit coz it jams and it needs a little tap here and there to continue to fill the tube. When full just dump and load 100 primers while reloading. No need for extra tubes. I’m hoping this new DAA primer pro works without you watching it and that will be a winner!

Then it would be a true wonder! There is a lot of concern of exploding the whole stack if you have a tube to feed the primers from this machine.

cvincent Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 Press mounted would be way cool. But I’ll be just as happy if I have 100 right side up primers in a tube ready to go everytime, no fiddling, tweaking, watching, tapping, Jam clearing BS.

I agree, I just think its a valid point and possible roadblock that should be accounted for and engineered around. As long as the piece allows for the blast to be directed upwards it should be ok.

sweatpants Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 So who's gonna fabricate an adapter and mount/stand for this thing so it can crap out primers directly into a press? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V2plus25 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Hah that would be cool. But I’m just happy if it reliably fills primer tubes like he says in 45-60 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N7VY Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I just saw on you tube that Double Alpha has come up with a primer tube filler for the Dillon primer tubes. It looks interesting. $200 bucks though and not shipping till Christmas. I really don’t mind filling the tubes but I wasn’t going to use the Dillon primer station. Just a heads up. Enjoy.

m700 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I have the Frankford. If you dont want to spend a lot this is a great alternative. If you were to get it take a razor and clean up casting excess near where tray empties into tubes. Also throw out or sell the tubes that come with it. Take your dillon tubes and hold them in the right position and it works great. I have 5 tubes in each size, so I sit down load 1 and dump it into the machine, then load all 5 and have them ready. I can load 6 tubes in a little over 2 minutes with 0 flips. The Dillon depending on how well tuned seams to have a lot of flips. People like the PAL but that is expensive too. The DAA looks to be a great design if you like the idea of dumping a box in and going back to loading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
