650 Primer Catcher
Quote from Reloader on September 20, 2012, 7:03 pmHey guys! Just got my Dillon 650 put together. Loaded up some rounds today and was having an issue with the "ski jump" that catches and holds the new unused primers that arent loaded into a shell. Its a pain to take them out one by one and place onto a primer holder so they can be reused. The "tape" method that I saw on some forums is not really working. Have any of yall tried any other method to contain the unused primers? maybe cut the end off the blue slide and attach a small jar or something?

The bonus is the skipped primers are all in the little plastic bottle, so no fishing out of primers from the ramp and easy no-spill transport to the bench for recycling.
