auto primer tube filler?

[Scooter]

Has anyone tried the Frankford Arsenal primer tube filler?  Midway has them for $60.  It's hard to justify spending $200 for the Dillon one.

I don't know a thing about the Frankford Arsenal deal.  That said...

The Dillon primer tube filler is the best money I ever spent on reloading gear - besides my 550.  Once it's set, you don't have to shake rattle or roll ANYTHING.  It just works.  Once you get your hands on one and see how well it's built, you'll wonder how in the hell Dillon only charges $225 for them.

I've got one of the Dillon fillers on the way (thanks BE!), so hopefully soon I'll be able to report on it (based on y'all's reports, hopefully my Scots ancestors will stop wincing when it shows up ). From the thread above, it looks like the Frankford thing does half the job-- you have to shake the primers all the same way up in the provided tray, and then it dumps them into the tube.

I just got the Dillon unit and agree that it is expensive, but it works great, defintely a major time saver.
