loading primers into primer tube

[Bobcassne]

Is there an easier or quicker way to load primers into a primer tube?

 

[powderbrake]

are you shaking the ribbed side until all primers are oriented open sides up, then putting the lid on, and turning the package over, take off the ribbed side and all primers are oriented with the closed side up?

Or Primer tube filler

well first off shake them all so they are all facing up, then put the lid on it and turn it over so the lid is on the table with primers. Now you'll have them all the correct direction for loading into the tube and you can load the tube quickly. Takes um... less than a minute? Not sure how much faster a person needs it to be.

I use a double alpha primafil. Takes 20 seconds to fill a tube w/100 primers.

Don't even bother with the shake rattle and roll. I dump them in the tray, pick up the ones that are correct side up, then put the lid on and flip the tray. Resume picking up the rest. Shaking can be a PITA. Just when you try to get the last one turned over, somebody else turns turtle. Maybe I'm just a klutz.

I single feed primers by hand one at a time in my sinclair or on my Big Boss II. Haven't used tubes in decades. I have an old 550b dillon and the priming system is trash on that model so I went Amish on my priming methods.

What I do as well! For the last one that sticks in the fingers I use a short piece of bamboo skewer slightly smaller than primer diameter. Don't need a $100 solution to a simple problem.

Genius.

This thread has been a boost to my self esteem. This is at least one area where I have no problem. As a matter of fact, I'm gonna consider myself to be a full on journeyman "flipper and picker".

I never cared for the primer tube system. I went with the low life Lee bench prime.
