Gonna make myself a vibratory primer tube filler.

I figured there had to be an easier way to load primers than with a pick-up tube, so I did some research.

I discovered that Franklin Arsenal used to have just what I was looking for. Dang it, they discontinued it - wonder why? It seemed like such a good idea.

And then I found the following YouTube video, and said to myself, "I can do that."

So, I just bought me a Lee Auto Prime from Midway and a simple vibrator from Ebay. Yeah I know, better not let the wife find it.

The auto prime cost me 24.29 and the vibrator cost me 7.98.

I'll let you all how it works for me. Should be just what the doctor ordered.

I made one from a Lee Autoprime. I used some epoxy putty to fill the gaps in the square chute in the lee flip tray. I used some wax on the primer tube as a release agent (sorta like bedding a rifle action).

The only problem was getting the tube exactly lined up with the hole in the flip tray. If you can figure out a good way to easily do that, it will work well.

Oh, and I didn't use a vibrator (wife couldn't spare hers), I just held it up to my vibrating case cleaner.
