    the primer tubes were hung on the bench with care, hoping that my (3000 rd) bullet order will soon be there:lol2:

    Just to be clear, I'm nocking anyone for using primer tube fillers. Have at it.

    I just remember early on thinking I must have one, until a seasoned comp shooter said he does plenty fine without one. He taught me to buy a few extra tubes and how to do the Winchester primer flip box thing.

    I would have had a Dillon primer tube feeder had not my Dillon dealer (Bob Trueblood) told me he could never make them work 100%.

    i agree it's not a "must have" kinda thing. ive flipped and stabbed 10's of 1000's of primers in the past 25 years.

    some days my hands/fingers just dont cooperate, i dont think using the vibra prime is really saving me a lot of time loading primer tubes, but it's a little easier on my hands.

    it's something i could do without, but i have it, so i'm gonna make it work for me.

    :cheers:

    "i agree it's not a "must have" kinda thing" but I made a filler that will load 5 tubes , very FAST!! simple. 1) $7.00 toy, an old lee primer tray. drilled a hole for a set screw in a tube holder and glued it together.- (just a simple huge time saver).

    I have one of the older FA Vibra Prime primer fillers. It works best with the Winchester primers, because of the way that they are packaged. There is a slight learning curve in how to hold the thing, but not much. It works great. I even load Dillon primer tubes directly with it after removing the plastic tip from the tube.
