A few years use
I bought this several years ago and not one problem yet.
Would you recommend this?
Yes, I would recommend to a friend
Nice and Easy
I have loaded primers into about 1000 cases, so far I have been very happy with it. I had a very minor issues in the beginning, I didn't follow the instruction too well and didn't get the height of something right. I am going to buy a second arm, one for large and small primers and never a problem again. Don't be a idiot like I was and not realize that the steel tube is for protecting the other tube with the primers inside and screws off and on. I don't understand why others rated it low, works great but you need to read the instructions.
Should've bought one sooner
I've been using the T-7 Turret Press for about 6 months and have reloaded about 2000 223's and and about 2000 9mil with the hand priming system that comes with the press. I was putting off purchasing the auto priming system because of the feedback in the reviews, but recently went ahead and bought one. I wish I had bought one sooner. I've used it with about 500 small primers without issue. It holds 100 primers and twice I tried picking up 10 wondering if I could load less. They fell through the tube into position easily. I was careful upon installation to follow the directions. I think that is key to my success. I also like it that I can pick up primers right out of their factory retail tray. The tube fits perfectly in the package tray hole. Make sure you use the proper primer tube. The outer diameters,for both large and primer tubes are the same. The inners are different.
It works
I don't agree with an earlier reviewer. The primer feeding system works. The height of the primer cup on the slide bar is important. Make sure it is level with the primer retention pin and the primers will easily load perfect every time. Also, the primers stay in the collection tube unlike the Dillon Precision priming system. And of course, make sure you choose the correct size collection tube for large or small primers. I have used it for almost a year now with no issues. I did purchase an extra slide bar. One for small and the other for large primers. Eliminates the need to switch out the primers cups. The only drawback that I have noticed is the tube can get in the way. Easy to get used to however.
Auto primer works for me!!
The auto primer works for me, no adjustments to be made,if you install it right , it works right.I did also get an other sliding primer arm assy. this way you can you can have one with a large primer plug and one with a small primer plug and you don't have play around with sleeves and springs just to go from small to large primers.It comes with small and large primer tubes,don't put small primers in the large tube or they will flip around.Why would you want to handle a primer if you don't have to. Get some extra tubes also,it will speed things up.The extra tubes I ordered didn't come with the holding clips, had to get them at the hardware store,this should change, it's a 10 cent clip,why don't come with the tube? This is still a great system,make sure you push and twist the tube after you pull the pin to make sure it is seated,if you use it right it will work right.Good luck!!
