Another cure for the primer throwing 650

I’ve just been using doubled over masking tape around the edges for years but I finally decided to do something a little more permanent. I just cut a section of box tubing at an angle and tacked it to the bracket so they fall to the bottom of the cup and can’t bounce out. While I was at it I added a flap at the front but I bet it’s not needed.

???????¿¿ I must be lucky, mine doesn't throw spent primers anywhere. Well, maybe one or 2 during a 500-1000 loading session. But what the hey, if it works for you, maybe others have the same problem, it would work for them too.

I never understood the primer thing either, mine stay in the cup. Though the best solution I saw was taking the cup off and adding a plastic tube to the whole under the plate. The tube went to the trash can and you can load all day and neer have to empty spent primers.

Yeah there are not many that get out but I reload in the house and don't like having to pick them up.
