Anyone Here Have a Dillon Automatic Primer Filler?

[dbarnhart]

I'm curious if anyone here has a Dillon RF100 Automatic Primer Filler.

I can't image spending $315 to save the 90 seconds it takes me to fill a pickup tube manually. If I were running a high-volume commercial operation then maybe.

Am I missing something?

Like most Dillon items, it is pricey! I haven't used one. I did research on the web and they work but seem to be tempermental. Way over priced in my weak mind.

PS: There is a local guy that has a cast bullet and ammo business. He has at least a dozen Dillon 1050's running constantly. He was selling his Dillon PRimer fillers, as the were, in his words, a PITA.

I have one. Very expensive, work great if you set it up correctly. Your half way through the 100 in the press before its finished with the next 100. 90 seconds is a lot when it only takes you 150 seconds to load 100 rounds.

I love dillon presses, but the auto primer fillers are just too rich for my blood.

Which Dillon are you using that'll do 100 rounds in 150 seconds? On my best day I can't load anywhere that fast on my 1050.

^^^^^^^^^^

That's what I want to know too. Yowza..........!

A completed round every 1.5 seconds?


If true, what is he using to cool off his dies?

It seems that reloading speed, kind of like group sizes, are best done on a keyboard, as opposed to real life!

As to the primer filler. Why would anybody spend over $300 on a device that isn't as easy to use or as efficient as a $30 Vibra-Prime. I'd bet that Dillon bought the rights to Vibra-Prime, in order to stop its manufacture.

Love my 550, but most of Dillon's stuff is WAY over priced IMHO

This one.

Yeah, that's why I made the video. Nothing like proof to curb skepticism.

My system is all my primer pickup tubes filled and labeled in a used coffee can

If you're a big volume loader, the Dillon primer loader is great. I don't do so much I can't fill the 20 tubes I have, by hand, before starting a loading session. When I use 'em all up, it's time for a break anyway.

Here is a way cheaper one. http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRqqZ9UkTW8

I made my own and just use a fish tank air pump or my case tumbler.
