The Redding Small Primer Tube (MPN: 99564) is a dedicated replacement and auxiliary primer magazine tube engineered for the Redding Slide Bar Automatic Primer Feeding System (Model #99600). Designed for benchtop handloading setups on Redding presses, including the T-7 Turret Press and Big Boss series, this metal feed tube transfers small primers directly to the slide bar without requiring direct manual handling, shielding primers from finger oils and moisture contamination.

Key Features

• Direct Slide-Bar Compatibility: Interfaces with the Redding Slide Bar Automatic Primer Feeder on Redding T-7 Turret and Big Boss presses.
• Contamination-Free Feeding: Enables handloaders to pick up and feed small rifle or small pistol primers directly from packaging trays to prevent skin oil or moisture transfer.
• Continuous Workflow: Serves as a spare or replacement tube, allowing reloaders to stage multiple tubes prior to a reloading session.
• Mechanical Operation: Utilises gravity-fed, purely mechanical operation requiring no external power or electrical inputs.

Who is the Redding Small Primer Tube for?

• Small-Calibre Rifle and Pistol Reloaders — requires an internal diameter of approximately 0.175 in (4.45 mm) to feed small rifle or small pistol primers directly into Redding slide-bar systems for cartridges such as .223 Remington, 9mm Luger, and .38 Special.
• High-Volume Handloaders Staging Components — benefits from a 100-primer capacity matching standard factory packaging trays, allowing handloaders to pre-fill extra reloading primer feed tubes to streamline cycle times during extended press sessions.

Less suitable for: Handloaders loading large rifle or large pistol primers measuring 0.210 in (5.33 mm), who require a dedicated large-diameter primer feed tube (such as Redding Model #99563), or users operating priming systems from non-compatible press platforms that utilise brand-specific pickup tips and retention mechanisms.
