Korupt Karl Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Just as the title says. Do any of you use a Primer filler tube reloader? Which would you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bill Mathewson, 37826 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I have had one of the Frankford Arsenal primer tube loaders it worked well on large pistol primers but would sometimes flip a small pistol primer upside down as the primer dropped into the tube. I quit using it on small primers and continued to use it on large pistol primers until the motor gave up. I went back to using the hand pickup tubes.

Krazy Kajun Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I use a PAL primer loader. I did a search and found it listed here but shows to be sold out for now. It was discussed on the Wire last year and I bought it from someone on the Wire. It works really well.......I fill 5 Dillon small primer tubes and then start loading.

Branchwater Jack SASS #88854 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I have the PAL, too. Works better for small than large, but they both go well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinaman,SASS32908 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 KARL---I have been using one for about 5 years and while you do have some things happen sometimes like most things while reloading,i have been pretty happy with it.I think I gave about 20.00 for it.I don't think they made them for a couple of years,but now I see where they are selling an improved model.

Cypress Sam, SASS #10915 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Works well for lg primers. Small not so much. But they were cheap. Are they making them again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stump Water Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 mine sucks bounced it off the wall a few times This. I don't have anybody I dislike enough to give it to so it went in the trash. Filling up primer tubes gets you into reloading zen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Cent Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I have had one for a number of years. Did a light chamber/chamfer on some spots and it runs really good. Super on small pistol and super on large primers, just a little slower. http://s229.photobucket.com/user/redcent69/media/Primer%20filler/MVI_0016.mp4.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haskell Rascal Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I have one of the new Frankford Arsenal primer tube loaders and have used it with 1500+ small and a few hundred large primers with no problems at all so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E. Law Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I bought a PALVIK loader from Brother King.He brought it to me at Texas State 2 years ago.It works really well on small pistol primers and it is fast.I load 6 tubes really fast. Brother King was selling some of these at CaC last year, I had seen the Franklin and it didn't work very well. My boss has 2 Dillon's and he hates them both, but the one B.K. sold worked really well. My buddy had one and I tried it out and it was fast and worked without a hitch. I personally still hand load my tubes, but I have 20 primer tubes and make a game of trying to beat my fastest time each time I load them.
