It needs to overhang? And if your bench/table has an apron/skirt overhanging it might not work? That's a pretty dumb decision by DAA. I'd guess it has to do with how the primer tube is mounted, which is probably critical to the design/function of the device. It would be pretty easy to make a bench top mount from a few pieces of wood. Something shaped like the bottom portion of a shoe box would work.

It is actually quite sensible, reduces the height of the unit, making it less likely to fall over (which I've had happen when barely touching the RF100). It's compact, easy to setup and easy to run. If your bench doesn't have room for it as is, a simple board clamped to the edge of your bench would work, or as stated above, build a lift for it, pretty simple, or, just put it on a chair. Or, don't buy it, invent your own stellar tube filler, get it made and marketed and show DAA how is should be done. I won't hold my breath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78Staff Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 RF's are pretty hefty and bottom heavy, hard to believe someone could knock one over "barely touching it..." lol, but I guess stranger things have happened. As I've stated before, I'm pretty happy with mine - both have rheostats - one was upgraded, one came from Dillon with it. I run Winchester Primers almost 100% of the time - no issues. Once initially tuned, they run like a top really. That being said, AD makes (or is licensed to produce, I think?) a great bullet feeder, so they usually turn out decent stuff. The Primer filler actually looks nicer than their automatic brass marker, which I have - which is kind of a garage project rushed into production too soon IMO. To bad they don't have a LP option, one would assume they will follow up with one. They may just be testing the market with the SP version first due to popular SP calibers.

Dirtchevy841 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 When someone finally gets one we need feedback. It looks cool but is it worth 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, you'll have plenty of time cuz the first batch already sold out. Can't get it till February. Had posted a youtube review above. Take a look. I'll got mine end of December or as soon as they shipped. The only thing I don't like for now is they don't provide a solution to fix it on the bench to avoid accidental fall of the unit.

looking4reloadingdeals Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Interested to hear back from everyone when they finally ship as well. Iv always hated loading primer tubes, but again, is it really worth $200? That’s a lot of primer/bullet/powder money imo. Time will tell I guess Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slavex Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 $200 is not even a full case of primers up here these days. I bought a Revolution with primer collator to not have to load tubes again, but I still load on the 1050 fairly often and hate loading tubes for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a local guy that sells cci SPP and srp for $150/5k. Also got them for $149/5k on MidSouth last month too.

MikeyScuba Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I did ok with the Federal SPP that were on crazy cheap a few months back, shipped them to 5 different addresses and got 5 X $100US rebate cheques. maybe cost me $30 extra in shipping to split the orders up. taxes in -3.5c each primer (in Canadian pesos) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooked Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I was able to get S&B primers for around $160CA/5k a while back. With free shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slavex Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 yeah we get lucky now and then for primers, currently 5k of CCI is bang on $200, Federal $225ish (CDN) and S&B $180, but they've been much higher, seen Federals at $60/1000. I'm seriously loving this DAA fanboy thing, I wonder how Saul and Eli would react to that? Oooh crap, I must be a Mk7 cultist then too. And what about CZ?

Needing to hang this thing off the side of a bench, or modify your bench to secure it, wasn't a smart design decision in my opinion. It looks like others are starting to figure that out: On 12/12/2019 at 10:25 PM, BigEar said: The only thing I don't like for now is they don't provide a solution to fix it on the bench to avoid accidental fall of the unit. Maybe I'm not giving DAA a fair shake. This could all be part of a larger sales tactic (which I don't begrudge them for). Bench attachment accessory $20, large primer conversion kit $50, press integration system $100. If so, then I can at least wrap my head around the initial design.
