Re: What to Do With Your Primer Pickup Tubes?

Post by M. M. Wright »

I'm still stuck with my old 550 with no feeders except the primers and powder and I keep my primer tubes in an old tin can. I put a handful of round balls in the bottom to keep it from tipping so it works fairly well. Cheap too.

You, Steve are one organized feller. I wish I was half as much as you. I do organize my tools and reloading equipment but it doesn't last long.

Steve, obviously you are a sick sick man. Anybody’s reloading area that organized MUST be sick. Congratulations on finding the answer and at a cost effective rate also.

I've never understood how loading primers one by one into a tube is more convenient than loading one by one into a primer arm.

I just drill holes with a foot long bit right into the shelving....2 for large and 2 for small. All extras are kept with a rubber band around em and thrown to the side.-----006

I tossed all mine in a storage bin with other parts I don't use anymore. I deprime cases with a old Pope style Simmons decapping tool. Then I use a Lee hand priming tool to seat new primers. So I haven't used a primer tube in a couple decades or more.

Hey Steve, you seem to be more OCD than me! :D
Seriously, beautiful setup.
Sadly, I have the same issue, and have resorted to only leaving a couple of each size out. I slide them under my strong mount. Not the best, but it seems like I am continuously changing primer sizes anyway. :D

When you have a lot or been involved for many years, plus when your involved in shooting dozens of cartridges with all aspects involved, you need organization.....German genes will give you that too..... :D ---6

Mine is in the cellar too! It's not visible, but I am kind of a neat freak. And, as you said, it's the only way I can find stuff. :D
