Noisy bastard! It is fast...I usually load 10 tubes at a whack so I don't have to turn it back on for the whole session.

I also have the frankford arsenal handheld....Best bang for $50. You got a good deal tho!

Mine runs cci primers flawlessly as well as other brands. I have 1 I leave setup for SP and another I leave set up for LP.

I find my wolf/tula primers don't run as great.i wind up with some upside down primers...and sometimes the rf-100 jams and I have to remove the clear plastic cover.

I can't imagine handling primers any other way

Dumb question but how do you load the tubes? I'm assuming you don't have 10 of the rf100 tubes.

You buy packages of the standard primer pick up tubes....I like to take one of the plastic tips and cut off the end so you can use it as an adapter to connect the rf100 tube to the standard primer pickup tube. This helps ensure alignment and prevents you from spilling 100 primers.

When in doubt lay down a towel so if you have a spill you can easily pick them up.
I operate on a if you drop them don't pick them up policy..otherwise you risk picking up spent or damaged primers that are common on the floor of reloading rooms which will make bad ammo or worse jam up the priming system or damaging the priming systems orifice. Which can cause primers to detonate in the system..to clear these jams out need to clear out all the primers which usually ends in more primers being spilled.

I use the RF tube to fill the regular pick up tubes just like you would fill your press. I have a piece of silicon hose that aligns the 2 tubes.
