Full primer pickup tubes. Can they lay down?

#1 · November 7, 2010, 11:26 pm

Just recieved my extra pickup tubes (Only had my square deal for a few days), question. Can the be laid down when full or will primers flip in the tube? The alternative is to store them vertically.

What do you think, lay them down or lean prop them up.

Thanks,
Pete

I fill many tubes at once. They lay down, get shuffled around from side to side of the loader. They are designed to keep the primers from flipping in the tube. I would not worry about it.

Lay them down. They will not flip as there is not enough room in the tube for them to flip. I keep mine in a drawer and have no problems.
