Primer Catcher

PreviousPage 2 of 2

My platform is aluminum

With the aluminum platform, the spent primer cup slides onto a metal bracket. You can loosen the screws that attach the bracket and shift the bracket a little bit to better align the spent primer cup.

I put a piece of tape around the long part of the cup.  The tape sticks up about 1/4" and runs the whole length of both sides of the narrow part and around the end.  This seems to be A fix for me.  I just ran the 1st 300 round thru it and did not loose a primer.

I need to thank Dillon once again for their outstanding support and customer service!

 

I did receive the updated parts for my press within a couple of days of contacting them. I installed the parts and the press is still nearly flawless.

 

I must admit, however, that I did modify the primer retrieval process to eliminate the primer cup. I added a tube similarly to some of the web sites out there. The tube runs down to the floor into a large sealed container. I won't have to empty that thing for a long time. I've loaded probably a couple of thousand rounds since last posting here, and haven't had a single spent primer fall on the floor, nor any spent primers stuck or backed up anywhere. The vacuum cleaner really loves me now!
