Vibra Prime

[STORMIN29]

Has anyone tried the Frankford Arsenal Vibra Prime for filling primer tubes.
Just wanted some input on ease of use etc. They are supposed to work with the Dillon presses.

i bought one and it wouldn't work...the sharp edges on the plastic needed to be knocked off before the jprimers would go in it....then i figured i'd have to whack the ends off most of my non dillon tubes to get it to work so i sent mine back....but i guess if you've got all dillon tubes and are willing to tinker with the thing to get it to work then it's probably ok......plus it looks like something that came in a cracker-jack box.....DICK

They work great. Just remove the plastic bayonet adapters from the tubes and hold the tube into the Vibra-prime. You can fill a tube in about 10 seconds. Also might need to deburr the hole where the cotter pin resides.

They do "look" cheap; but they work, at least for me!

As already stated, throw the plastic adaptors away and hold the tubes in place while filling. If you do that, they work as advertised.

Thanks for the info. Midway has them for $25.00 and alot of things sound better and easier than they really are. I think I will try one when I place my next order with them.. Again, thanks.

$25 is a great price for the V ibra-Prime! Well worth $25.
