First real good working solution for auto filling of the primer tubes. Even with the normally horrible running Murom primers, fills the tubes without a failure! Happy reloading!!

Works fast, until the last 5 to 50 primers that won't fit into/through the slots are the only ones left. Kept full, or with more than 200 primers in the hopper, this collator sure beats anything else I've used. And it keeps up with a hand driven 1100.
I push the correctly oriented too-tall primers over the hump with a clean zip tie. Just another clean-up chore, not a big deal.

Not impressed, but functional with silicone spray and does not fit the bench well
DAA comment:
sorry you feel that way - but it does depend a lot on the brand of primers in use. some primers are tacky out the box, and require the silicon from time to time. others, do not at all need it.
we like the way it sits on teh desk and not elevated above it on stilts, but, tastes vary.

I have mixed feelings on this item. It seems to work well but it does get a little dirty after a few thousand primers and then then it needs to be cleaned or the primers will backup and not go into the primer tube.
It also leaves a small number of primers in the sorting system, a real pain to clean out if you have to change primer types.
It is all plastic and a very light. It has to sit on the edge of the table so it can get knocked of. Guess how I know that. It also breaks easily. Given the price I replaced it with the Dillon primer machine. This is cheaper but all it took was one tumble off my reloading bench and it is broken. Since it is all plastic there was no fixing it so it is a throwaway. The arm where the primers slide down cracked and it changes the feed angle.
Not sure the cheaper price was worth it. The Dillon takes up less space and is easier to use. The Dillon is more expensive.

Dear Scott,
The Primer Pro is designed to run with 300-400 primers in the bowl. For best output speeds.
If you do want to empty it completely, it’s a simple matter of lifting the bowl off and tapping it upside-down over a tray or flat box until all the primers are out. the bowl is easy off/easy on the center shaft.
I am sorry you broke the output ramp when knocking it off the table. If you email us for support, we will gladly send you a replacement part so you can repair your Primer Pro. changing the ramp is not too difficult and there is a video tutorial I can share. It is designed to stand near the edge of the table, which allows it to be shorter/lower and therefor easier to fill. When not in use it can be moved back, with the primer tube removed.

Excellent product. Allows to carry out other operations while he loads the primers

I used this product over the last two weeks to prime 38K 9mm. You have to find the sweet spot with the number of primers and the depth adjustment of the plate. Once that was dialed in it worked well. So far I have only identified 4 primers that went in the wrong way. Pay attention to the warning lights. If it goes off dump the tube reset and start again, chances are you have an upside-down primer that made it down the ramp. I had to clean it after about 25K because it was getting gummed up but it was fast and worth the down time. The major down side is the unit is loud. The constant clicking loading up primers was actually louder then my machines running on autodrives. Overall good product and I would recommend it.
