Dillon Primer Tray
Quote from Reloader on January 28, 2013, 2:38 amI have seen several Dillon Primer Flip Trays on e-bay being listed as, "Brass", or ,"Solid Brass". Are these Brass are some cast material with a brass looking finish ?
Just curious !

Hope that helps since Dillon is super busy these days... the newer black plastic ones work fine... but to us OFWW that have been reloading for 'ages', the 'old brass' looking trays are a status symbol and maybe
considered an 'antique' like us. If e-bay has 1 in good shape, and for a reasonable price-- ? , you may want to buy it-- it's much heavier than the plastic one and
it takes more 'unintentional' effort to bump & spill any primers...

So are they cast what with a coating ?
