Mr Pallavicino pointed me to the shop below and I ordered one. http://www.armeriapatria.it/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=21&products_id=162 Thanks for the information gents! The Patria Giorgio armory deals only with sales in Europe, while Pallavicino Umberto handles it for the rest of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More akin to the FA Vibra Prime Me 2, I had no luck with the Pro at all. But would like to give this a try. JD On 8/26/2020 at 6:28 PM, chumly2071 said: I hope it works better than the Pro did.

RGA Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Slighty off topic but the PAL filler arrived from Italy. I tested it with CCI LP and S&B LP and SP primers and this thing works like a charm. It is also very well made. We'll see how it holds up over time.

Totally agree. It's simply works, no tuning, no spray. Take it out of the box and start filling primer tubes (very quickly). Couldn't be happier!

Cuz Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 What is the cost in US $ for the PAL filler?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwallace84 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Well I just ordered one after contacting Umberto on facebook. Easy to deal with. Used paypal to send 190 euros, so $221, which includes shipping. I really hope its good! I have no problem paying extra for something if its well made and just works. I've suffered the hornady and vibraprime long enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Want2BS8ed Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Another happy PAL user... so happy I bought two to have both a small and larger primer filler readily at hand without having to flip the top plate. Never had a problem, never had a flipped primer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcwallace84 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Well this is certainly good to hear. I've heard of the PAL for a long time but thought it wasn't made anymore. That is, until this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xrayfk05 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I have one (the DAA Primafill to be clear) but I am less than impressed. Flipping primers is a pain with the straight pattern compared to the circular pattern of other designs. (Notice even Saul flips a few with his fingers in the demo videos) And while filling primer tubes the primers hang up on the hole and don't fall into the tube, there is an half hour long video on how to fix this but so far this has not worked for me. This is for LP and SP btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My tracking shows mine arriving Monday. Looking forward to trying it out. I did have concerns over the ridge pattern, and xray's comment's certainly exacerbates those concerns, but I'll give it a try for myself and see how it goes.

clw42 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 My Primafill arrived today. I like it. Takes a 9V battery, not my first choice, but not a deal breaker for me either. There does seem to be a primer or two that don't want to flip, but it's really not a big deal to bump them over by hand. To be honest, it happens to me with my RCBS flip tray as well sometimes...get the one you're trying to flip and a different one goes the wrong way. In any case, if I felt like shaking the thing more I'm sure they would all go eventually. Once they're all flipped it's pretty much as easy as the video. It's just a matter of finding the right angles and they all just fall into the tube. I've only done 500 (100 CCI SRM, 100 Federal SRM and 300 Fiocchi SRM) so far, but I'm hard pressed to see what could go wrong aside from possibly breaking the tab that holds the primer tube in place. The Fiocchi's are a bit of a pain in the ass, but that's a function of their packaging, not the Primafill. Mechanically speaking, there isn't much too it unlike like their other filler. I think it either works, or it doesn't, and if it doesn't it's because the motor failed. I can't compare it to anything else, because it's the first "automated" primer tube filler that I've used. So it's entirely possible that the PAL or FA are still better, but for the money I think this one is a good choice. Just have to wait and see how long it lasts. I'm not typically a fanboy of anything and if I thought it sucked I'd say so, but it really doesn't. I like it quite a bit so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
