Buckshot Bear Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 DAA Primafill One of these showed up yesterday, fantastic tool and can fill a Dillon primer tube in around 12 seconds. Couldn't get it to work 100% to begin with, then I countersunk the aluminium Dillon tubes a little more and a light polish and now it works flawlessly.

Hoss Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 There is a little learning curve, but then they work well. I had a Dillon primer filler machine. These are much better at 1/4 the cost. And wasaaay better than pecking primers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss, for me I keep the primers over to the left like they show in the DAA vid and they just pour in then fine single file. For the price of this filler compared to the ones costing 6x more its a great little gadget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too little and the flip over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought an XL 650 and a bunch of accessories from a pal a while back and one of the accessories was a Dillon primer tube filler. HATED it! Could not get it to work right and when it did work the 63rd primer would be upside down and my OCD brain had to start all over! so, I traded it for a MEC Jr! BEST trade I’ve ever made! Cowboy got the filler thing to work and I got a MEC! I don’t mind hunt and peck but at gonna look into this gadget! Thanks for sharing it! Hugs!

Biggest drawback is getting all the primers flipped the right way. On a Lee plate with concentric rings a couple of shakes and they are good. The DAA primer fill has straight ridges, it will get about 90% of them, but I always wind up having to flip a few over by hand. But it’s a small price to pay!

El Catorce Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 @Hoss I might need one of these… seems I spend more time filling the primer pick up tube than I do on the lever of my xl750… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
