Spent primer catcher for spartan t press

[Kenk]

Lol, learned that the hard way some years back, one caliber at a time unless they can't become intertwined

Oh I of course knew it but  just forgot is all. I even tried the nylon net bags to keep them separated at one time but it didn't work. The 9mm is in the oven drying. The 45 is OK. If I may be so bold the wet tumbler brass comes out more shiny than new if you ask me.  Craig

Well I broke the primer catcher yesterday but was still usable to a certain extent. Today I broke it for good unless I rebuild the whole thing but I think I could build a better one that might even work. Ha Ha!!!  Craig

I'm not familiar with that press but there is a guy on eBay that 3D prints primer catchers for several different presses. I have one on my RCBS Partner press that I use exclusively for depriming and it works very well and was very reasonably priced.

Bought a bunch of brackets and what not to rebuild this catcher again. Just for something to do.  Craig

Just layed out the new setup for the catcher and it will work better this time. I bought to much stuff but can return some that I don't use. This will have adjustments the original didn't have. Craig

You all will get a kick out of this!! I was going to work on the catcher but thought I would get 100 40 cal in the tumbler and then start on the catcher. Well I got to 91 or so on the decapping and the press lockup up and wouldn't raise up full. I thought a spent primer was jammed in the arm pivot arrangement but had to disassemble the whole arm to see the problem. Spent primer?? NO it was a part of the catcher that is placed in the slot to redirect the spent primer to go to the catcher. It's magnetic so it's no problem to reset or remove, so I removed it and everything is back to normal. This whole catcher thing is a big waste!! I am very tired of it. Craig
