So far its worked great. About 3,000 - 4,000 primer through. For gold colored primers like winchester I sprayed a cardboard box with silicone spray and shook the primers around in the box (found this on internet). For chrome primers like CCI I didn't need to do anything. I think I've had a couple jams but it has saved a tremendous amount of time from filling tubes by hand.

I am very happy with the DAA Primer Pro Collator. I had an issue with the Winchester primers but to the tutorial helped me sort out the feeding problem. Thank you DAA another quality product.

Saw this on a video a couple days ago and thought, "what the heck?" Ordered it. As always, fast service from DAA! I am not a patient person so before I started fiddling with it I read (and followed) the directions, which included a suggestion to watch a video. I ended up watching 3 videos and felt comfortable. Took the system to my reloading room and without doing anything dumped 400 primers in the hopper. The system just didn't seem right. Slow. So I emptied the hopper, took the machine apart as described and waxed the friction areas and travel points with Johnson's Paste Wax--I didn't have anything else. Put it back together and ended up with a filled tube in 37 seconds! I didn't refill the hopper but continued filling tubes. The next tube was a little longer as was the third. The 4th was over 2 minutes. First tip--read the directions, watch the videos and wax the system. Second, when you are testing the system be sure to put the cotter pin in the primer tube before you hit the button or you'll enjoy the opportunity to pick up dropped primers. Negatives, the angle of the primer tube. Also no ready way to mount the system to a bench (yet). The clicking is loud but I think it serves as an alert that while I am loading the system is filling my tube. I use WSP primers and it worked. I'm an old fart and not sure that I'll live long enough to get my money's worth but glad I got it. Bottom line--I would recommend it and I would buy it again. Alex Ragulsky--Broomfield, Colorado

I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 only because the initial set-up of the collator took me longer than I would have liked. I did read the instructions in advance of using it, and the first attempt to load Tula primers took several minutes to complete. I followed the instructions to slightly loosen the 5 screws that hold the funnel to the plate, and found that it helped very little - and it allowed a primer to be loaded into the tube upside down.

I was disappointed in the product's operation, so began reading threads about it online. One of the things I discovered was a suggestion to clean the plastic parts that the primers would come in contact with using Pledge furniture polish. After fully disassembling the unit, cleaning the parts with Pledge and carefully reassembling the unit, I was very pleased to see primers filling the tube in about 30 seconds! To date, I have run about 700 primers through this, all with good results and no flipped primers.

I would suggest that the suggestion to clean the parts with Pledge furniture polish be added to the manual as a troubleshooting step.

At first you have to tinker a bit with it, but once it's dialed in you don't have to load primers any more! I love it.

I purchased this auto primer filler hoping it would work better than my Dillon. At first it was very slow in filling the primer tube but Alpha gave me simple instructions to correct that and now it is working exactly as advertised. Fills the tube in less than a minute and no primers get stuck or go in upside down. Pretty amazing.
