Dillon primer magazine tips.

[Kiwi cop]

Every so often I will have primer feed issues on both of my Dillon presses (550 C and SDB). The culprit is always the tip of the primer magazine tip wearing and turning the primer so it does not feed onto the primer arm.

Here in Kiwiland the only way to get replacements is to purchase a whole spare parts kit, which gets expensive for just the primer magazine tip.

Last week I was visit in a fellow shooter and noticed he had brass primer magazine tips on his tubes.

My question is are these better. And where do I get these?

I personally like the brass tips better than the plastic ones. Here is a source - I'm not sure whether they will ship internationally.

I have RCBS primer tubes that I have used for probably 50 years that have brass tips. They work much better than the plastic tips on the Dillon tubes. So if you can get metal tips, I certainly would try some.

I have orderred a pair of these brass tips, one large, one small. Lee at Uniquetek has been great to deal with, even answering my initial query on a Sunday.
