Homemade Primer Tube Filler for Reloading Ammo

man i want to make me one of these!

Good idea, how does the sorter work, on the heavy side dropping ?

[HBRdesigns]

@ferks60 the sorter more or less works off the edges of the primer, follow the link in the extended description for a better explanation.

@ferks60 Thanks !

sweet sorting idea. but, considering to only takes a min to do it by hand.. why bother.

[HBRdesigns]

@danratsnapnames only to see if it could be done, I like to tinker what can I say :)

[danratsnapnames]

@HBRdesigns well, i guess it can be done! lol.. you proved it.. i know what you mean, i like to do shit to see IF it can be done. like making foam planes run on nitro engines! nobody else has done it, but i sure did! love the sorting method as well!

I'm impressed.

Excellent! Do you think that 2 motors can be hooked together with the 9 volt to get more vibration? Thanks.

[HBRdesigns]

The 9 volt should have no trouble powering both of them and 2 motors should give you more vibration you would just have to experiment where to put them for the best results. You could always try a larger motor/weight combo too.

Hi, What vibrator motor did you use and what battery?

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

[HBRdesigns]

The motor is a 3 volt pager type motor from Radio Shack. (I think item# 273-107) and it is run off a standard 9 volt.  The trick to getting the primers to move better is the tripod configured legs (which are made from metal drill rod.) The two in the back have rubber over their feet and the shorter single leg in the front doesn't which causes the front to angle downward and it also bounces around as the motor vibrates. So basically the motor is causing a duel action to move the primers along.

This is very cool, but it seem like links to all pictures are broken. Is it possible to look at them somewhere? Thanks

[HBRdesigns]

Thanks for bringing that to my attention, they should be fixed now.

[AGreyMan]

My hat is off to you, sir. Great idea!

[closetpunk2006]

That was really cool. I didn't understand the sorter until I looked at the link. What a great idea.

[wiederladerTv]

Thank you so much!!!

That's a very great work.

[wiederladerTv]

Could you give some details for the sorter please?

[HBRdesigns]

When an upside down primer goes over the sorter the outer edges of the primer fall into the 2 grooves and the primer dips down and falls through the chute. If I could post url's I'd show you better pictures but it wont let me, Sorry.

Edit......I added more info and links to the description hopefully it clears things up.
