primers on the ground

[jongun]

Been meaning to ask this question for a while but being not real important more of just an irritant I put it off. So here's my question,why has my Lee Breechlock press stopped collecting spent primers as they're removed and instead pitching them out the other side on the floor? When I first got the press in the summer it was collecting primers no prob but now for some reason it stopped Any insight from those more experienced would be great. Thanks.

check to make sure that the ram and plastic drop tube are not blocked somewhere with spent primers, if everything is clear there then perhaps you have adjusted the decap rod depth in your dies??

Put the priming arm back in, it needs it in place to direct spent primers to the left.

The first piece of brass I run in my Lee single stage press I always drop the spent primer on the floor because I forgot the priming arm. It seems like a good reminder to me.

X2 That is why I have 3 arms for both my Hornady and Lee classic cast.Two setup with small and large primer cups and one that I use to just deprime so I don't have to raise the ram a little before I insert a case into the shell holder.Of course as previously posted you could have a logjam of spent primers.

I was tempted to either tease you, or humiliate you, but I am attempting to impersonate someone that actually gives a ....

it is just easier to let them hit the floor and sweep them up.or setup a bucket under the press to catch them.

You think? I find the collection tube rather convenient. Either way primers are removed and to each his own.
