Lee Press Problem Solved

I recently bought a cheap Lee press to use for depriming. The problem when I tried to use it was that about half the primers were tossed out onto the floor instead of down the centre of the ram and into the small slot or hole intended to collect them.

Having tried this and that, I finally remembered that I had some 3/16" square brass tubing kicking around and fastened a strip of that on either side. It works perfectly - 100% capture rate without interfering with its operation.

I could have used something like epoxy or superglue but chose to use a low-temp glue gun as this will allow me to remove them in case I want to change something.

I use the same press, there should be a full slot on the right side with a roll pin about half way down. If it came with the pimer feeder just set the feeder over the roll pin and voila all primer deflected into the hole and on to the garbage bin
 
Sorry, no primer feeder came with this. The only slot is in the lower face, as shown in the photos. No roller pin seen.it is, I think, their most basic model.
