Nick_shoots_fast Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Been looking for sometime now for a bigger Dillon priming tube system. Want to put more than 100 primers in my machine at a time. Anyone seen anything like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m700 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Small Primer tube = .183 ID x 5/16" OD Part #89965K18 Large Primer tube = .215 ID x 5/16" OD Part #89965K472 McMaster-Carr That will get you a 3' tube Im not 100% sure on the dimensions of the outer tube. if you take a caliper and get od and id i could tell you the pipe size and you would just need a coupling and a piece of pipe to extend it. I would think you could up it to 200. Depending on your ceiling height Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 The only reason most don’t use longer tubes is in case of a detonation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I just start with 100 in the main tube and three 100's loaded in small tubes, and I can't load more than 400 rounds at a time without getting very bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevrofreak Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I saw a kit the other day that doubles it to 200; I just dont remember where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m700 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Not sure how much help the extra 100 rounds will be . If you have multiple tubes I think it will be just as fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cvincent Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Can you get this for a 650?Highly doubt it. They don’t do anything for 650s. I think they want 2200 bucks for that thing when it goes into production. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m700 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 2200 bucks so im going to say no to this. It would be nice on an automated 1100 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltdmstr Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I just fill up 10 tubes before I start and easily do 1k rounds in an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJRyan13 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I would buy the FFB if... 1. It was as reliable as the Mark 7 primer system (doesn’t appear to be) 2. If it was safe - I don’t like the idea of a chain reaction on that ramp 3. It was closer to the price of the Mark 7. I know when I bought the Revolution it was closer to $1600 upgrade. Maybe higher now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHI Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) Atlasguy do you have a bullet feeder? It takes 15 -20 min to load 1000 primers in tubes. with a setup machine ( powder drop set length set etc) a hand operated s1050 can eazly produce a 1000 rounds an hour.( this includes filling the primer tubes) every time the primer warning goes off add bullets and primers approximately every 4th time add cases. just a steady pace don't rush or try to see how fast you can go Edited January 17, 2020 by AHI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillon Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I don't recall the details, but when I first started working at Dillon (35+ years ago), I asked Mike Dillon why we didn't stack 200 primers on the RL1000. He alluded to an accident at a Winchester plant. I don't know if it was in regards to dropping a vertical column of 200 primers at one time, as now they travel farther, and have greater velocity when they stop, or if it was the weight of dropping 100 primers onto 100 primers. Either way, there was a safety reason Mike Dillon limited the magazine capacity to 100 primers vertically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_RAD Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 If you've ever lit off an entire stack of primers, you'd realize 200 of them in one tube is a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximis228 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 70ish primers going off were enough of a pants shitting moment to never want to add more to the stack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
858 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 This is not a bigger primer system per say but certainly adds functionality and capacity to the RF100. Entirely Crimson makes an adaptor that allows the RF100 to load individual primer tubes. If you want to load 1K rounds at a time without waiting for the RF100 in the middle of a session or buying extra RF100 tubes, this may work for you. I typically run the RF100 during loading session set up and all of my primers are waiting in tubes prior to beginning to load. https://entirelycrimson.com/collections/dillon-xl-650/products/rf-100-tube-adapter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
