Primer Pickup Tubes for Hornady LnL

[Tilos]

The Best Tubes I have ever used were from RCBS, made of all metal, they came with my bench top primer.

Yeh, the RCBS tubes benefit from their KISS design.

Further, any other brand of tubes can be modified to the KISS design by removing the plastic tip and slotting/chamfering the aluminum tube.
You end up with a tunable/fingered pickup end that can be adjusted to whatever primers you have.
I have bought lengths of aluminum tube and fabbed RCBS type primer tubes out of it.

Ive used the Dillon tubes. Far superior to the Hornady ones.
I just use a FA VibraPrime now though. Its fast and Im lazy.

I watched the video on the CD that came with my LNL AP; I immediately saw I wouldn't like the hunt and peck pickup method. The Bass Pro Shop near my workplace had the FA VibraPrime on sale; I got it before ever using the Hornady tubes. I'm happy with it, too.

It’d be nice to know why you’d choose the DAA Primafill option over the FA.

It isn't 3X better than what I paid for the FA, but at the current prices, it is certainly 30% better.
1. Switching between SPP and LPP is easier...no looking for the dam or reading the lettering, just switch block over
2. Tube retention is more simple...no locking ears
3. Activation is a switch rather than a trigger...easier to tilt and maintain correct feeding angle both hands
4. Sits by itself on the bench as one unit...tray isn't separate

For me I load almost everyday, using a pickup tube is no big deal, between the Dillion's and LNL's I have hunt and peck almost 200,000 primers.
