Lee Loadmaster Primer Catcher V2 by lspu

Last crawled date: 3 years, 4 months ago

This is a second version Spent Primer Catcher for the Lee Loadmaster progressive reloading press.
Clearing the ram of old primers, jams when it overfills or bending the cover plate on my bench are no longer problems.
Emptying primers is quick and is needed much less often.
** Installing this Primer Catcher required some disassembly and re-setup of the ram (see owner's manual).
What I needed
Ability to disassemble/reassemble the ram and adjust the press (see press owner's manual)
Four small flat head or crown head screws (#4 x 1/2" or M3 x 13mm) = clearance from the arm is very tight. I found a 5mm head size is the largest that would fit. The screw has to be 7mm or longer. See attached image "Screw head - Maximum size.jpg".
Hose -> I used a 10mm ID (3/8") flexible silicone tube. A 1/2" (OD) wire wrap will also work (Harbor Freight 66986).
Something for primers to fall into (empty 500ml water bottle)
