The RF100 is something I can’t do without. It is 100%. I could tell as soon as u tuned it on it was set too fast. I can’t imagine using the old style primer filler tubes manually for my 2 1050’s and 2 550’s. That’s insane.
Mine is spot on, have reloaded 50K rds or more over the years on it. For me it is one of those must have items if you shoot a lot and do a lot of reloading, a real time saver.
i have had mine for a bit over a year. once you get it set up for a primer size, it is great. but, i bought a conversion, too. when you change primer sizes, you gotta re-tune it. you can stack lotsa primers, by hand, in the time it takes to do the change over and re-tune it in. if you need to go back and forth between primer sizes, it is not such a good investment of time and money. buying one is an indulgence, one for each primer size is....well if you got lotsa money, go for it.
i fixed sideway primers w lg primer, i could not get this to work so i machined a brass insert instead of plastic and solved problem all together, dillons specs are too generous allowing primers to flip sideways
I concur on the price, Dillon is overly proud of these tools. but alas I have two of these. Honestly I have only had one maybe two flip and feed wrong, out of thousands. Nothing has broken or needed to be replaced so far. IMO these have been better than any other method I have tried.
It’s good, but will still flip a primer or two when running. Generally I’ll have 1-2 flipped CCI 450 primers per 100 loaded. Since I load for a 12 man team I cannot have a FTF . I watch each run, if one flips, I dump and start over. I give it 90% efficiency. Doesn’t matter what speed or spring tension, etc. I’ve had this 10 yrs, have run 100k rounds
I have a Dillon RL100 progressive press, love the company, but what they ask for this primer tool should include All my primers !...yet Ill probably still buy it eventually if I ever accumulate more primers ! Thanks !
Scratch I see a lot of blue there and that's fine, but I have a new Frankford Arsenal X10 that will do anything that blue does. And it's a whole lot cheaper and it's not proprietary.
I am sorry I didn’t recall saying a blue press was the only way to go. I’m also curious as to what you are referring to that is proprietary with the blue presses? As far as I know, all manufacturers of progressive reloading presses, use their own proprietary shell plates, but really that’s not the issue even your plate is proprietary to that particular press. So I guess I don’t understand what you’re referring to as proprietary .Plenty of other color presses in my reloading room and they are all Made in the USA
Kinda overpriced for home reloading, but if you do high volume commercial reloading, then it will save some time. For home reloaders the Franfort Arsenal VibraPrime works great and it costs $50 (large and small primer tubes included). You can always get extra tubes, they are cheap.

Are you supposed to bolt it down?
No need.
Awesome thank you for showing this , we use this machine every day and it does need some tweaking now and then but works just fine .
i dont mind the tube loading i dont mind taking a break and doing something else besides pulling the handle

Good post. Thanks for the heads up.
Hope you get it dialed in Squatch, Good luck 👊😎🇺🇸
just dipping my toe into reloading. can't find primers anywhere so still just trying to collect lead and brass.

5:50 always one late to class 😂 😂
Thanks for the warning.
Cool stuff my friend I hope it starts working for you
ive had a kaboom w a mag full of primers thats why i wanted this
Curiosity got the best of me. What do you mean mag full? How did this happen.
well you know as well as I do once on the press it is still hit and miss with upside down primers

I have one and gave up on it. It always would have 2 or more flipped out of a tube of 100. I expected better from Dillon and at the price of the unit.
DAA primafill is very nice at fraction of cost

how did it turn out?
I will do an update video very soon
My primer filler is trash... cant get it to work right at all
I watched twice to see those elusive endangered primers. I think finding a squatch would be easier than finding those! Lol.

I hope it works out... but if you don't get 100% correct primers in the tube...well...
Exactly
Not worth the money for what you get. Manual is 100% and i can have 500 ready to go with five tubes.
Bro that’s why you have kids, just saying!
I know right
