A puff of powder graphite rub in with your finger. Lasts a long time. Don’t need much

If it’s plastic I used plexus same stuff for glasses works well on 200 round feeder clean it once every 5k

Yes it’s the plastic 200 count tray. Easy and last quite awhile. Seems to Kinda impregnates into the plastic

Bad time to ask this but what kind of primers are you using? For whatever reason CCI primers don’t slide in mine but I’ve never had to polish or put anything in the primer tray for Winchester or Federals. No idea why, but that’s what I’ve noticed.

Another vote for Pledge furniture polish. Works great!

Other than wax, make sure you have enough angle on the primer tray (rotating it slightly may put more angle on it). Also make sure something is not hitting the primer lid. I had that happen with some shells (may have been CCI primers) where some touched the top and then would not slide properly.

Another pledge user here. A helpful trick is to remove the cardboard sleeve from the primers and wipe the primers (still in the tray) with a clean microfiber cloth. Put the sleeve back on and wipe the outside of the sleeve before putting primers in reloader tray. It removes any manufacturing dust.

I used to wax mine but it did not last well. Now I wipe it out with a silicone gun cloth every time it empties. Over a year with no problems.

I use a floor paste wax on my metal and plastic MEC primer trays. Slippery as heck and last for thousands of primers, maybe even 5,000. Works so good, I haven't found a reason to try anything else. This also makes for a great release agent for use with epoxies when the circumstances dictate the need for an epoxy release.

I always use Win 209's. I always had to clean and lube my tray on my Sizemaster & 9000. Seems there is some dust particles that come off the primers. It's almost like an abrasive powder.

I actually took the tray off, filed about 1/16" off the plastic funnel under the tray to allow just a few more degrees of angle. Didn't help

I'm using a MEC Grabber with the large primer tray, I've loaded 10's of thousands of Cheddite with no problems. When I ran out I opened 1 of 2 bricks of Winchesters, nothing but problems, not only do they not slide, they seem to bottleneck as they go into the narrow area, when they do drop I usually have to locate them into the proper position. Its almost as if the largest diameter is a RCH too large.

Rarely had this issue with Rem, Win or Cheddite primers. If a primer didn’t slide or drop, I hit the advance button on the tray and the vibration got things moving again. Never needed to put anything on the tray.

I seem to have to stop and polish my plastic primer tray more often than I used to. I had been using regular car polish to coat it. I ran out and lately I've been using a silicone based lubricant that buffs dry. This new lube doesn't last very long. Anyone have something they could recommend that keeps it slick for longer? Thank

I use a very fine powder graphite.
