My beloved vibraprime is down to one tube that works, and one that sorta-kinda-works-sometimes.

Is there anything out there suitable as a replacement? I have a Hornady LNL-AP loader, so I'm not sure if the Dillon one would work.

You don't just take the tops (colored/pickup portion) off of the Dillon tubes and hold the tubes in the hole of the VP's tray?

Er, realized you may not have Dillon pickup tubes, but that doesn't matter. I assume that the LnL still has a feed tube that is filled with pickup tubes, correct? The method I mention above should work with your pickup tubes. You could also get some Dillon tubes.

No dillon pickup tubes, but I'll see what I can work out with the Hornady pickup tubes. If I put them in the open end they'd be upside-down, I'll have to see if I can take the plastic picker-upper off the other end.

Yep, that's what I do. The Dillon tubes have a little spring clip that keeps the primers from coming out the end you feed the loader with.

Ha! What a board! I got contacted by someone with a broken vibraprime who still has the tubes. Happy day!
