Dillon RF-100

Trying to figure this thing out (and Dillon's site isn't any help). Does this mount to the primer tube on the press? Or does it just automatically fill up a tube that you then take over to the press and drop in like you would with pickup tubes?

I have 5 pickup tubes which by the time I've loaded through all of them I could use a break anyway.

It fills the blue (or red) tube that you see in the picture and that in turn is placed on top of your primer magazine, where you pull the cotter pin and release the primers into the mag.

Drop a pack of primers on the top of the machine, hit the button and start loading. When done with that 100, the tube's filled again. Pretty slick actually

You will be getting close with a bullet feeder, but I suspect you will not be able to beat the primer machine.
With a pistol cartridge setup with a bullet feeder, that's going to put you in the 1600-1800 rounds/hour range.

You won't be able to go that fast with 223 because you need to wait for powder to fall and for the cases to settle before you run the swage backup rod into the case mouth.

I sir take that as a challenge

TMC, care to chime in on this one?
