550B - spent primers "flicking out" everywhere

I've done a search and couln't find an answer, so i'll ask.

I have a Dillon 550B and when i size/decap a spent round, the spent primers seem to go everywhere. The little hinged tray is loose and not locked in any one position.

Anyone know how to fix this???????

Replace the cotter pin with a paper clip and bend it at the ends to keep it in place. Tweak as necessary so the catcher open easily on the downstroke. Even when the little catcher is set up properly I still get a few that miss the cup, flip out on the floor, or end up on the frame of the press somehow.

Bingo! This Solution Is A Winner And The One I Went To After Rebending My Cotter Pin Too Many Times To Count. Of Course Any Pin Can Be used.
