nhglyn Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I looked through the tips and tricks post but didn't see what I was looking for. Has anyone come up with a foolproof way of collecting spent primers on the 1050 rather than using the primer cup? Plastic tube adaptations etc.? Links? Pictures? Thanks.

I cut off a .223 case and inserted the neck in the ejection port and the added the tube, you decide the length, to an AccroBin under the benchy.

nhglyn Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 RePete, Is there a bracket that holds the primer cup that needs to be removed? Does the case stay in the ejection port OK or does it drop out from time to time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin Orr Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 collecting spent primers on the 1050 rather than using the primer cup? Without the cup ... I just use a broom every couple of weeks as I do my normal sweeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, I had to poke a 1/4" phillips screwdriver into the .223 case I used to make it fit a little tighter. Keep an eye on the beer bottle on the floor (you do use a beer bottle, right? ) so you catch it before it fills up. It's tedious unclogging a clogged primer dump tube.

RePete Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 FWIW I used a once fired Remington case. Just pressed it in and it has never fallen out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al503 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 The cup works great for me. It holds more than I can load in 2 or 3 sessions so I don't understand this mod. If it ain't broke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received my 1050 in September and the handle kept knocking off the catcher, therefore it was broke and this is a better set up. And now with the KISS bulletfeeder, it's a required set up.

STSCS Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I was wondering if I was the only one with a retarded catch bin. I took mine to disk sander and changed the angle to match the inside of the press and it now holds over a thousand primers without them falling off or spitting half of them on the floor. But yours is cooler! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I did the same mod as RePete. After several thousand cycles, haven't had the case fall out of the press. My hose runs down into a 2 liter soda bottle (Sorry Shred!). I don't like to have to dump it very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RePete Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Just so everyone knows, I got the idea from reading a thread here on the 650, looked good, so I stole the idea and run with it. Just don't give me credit other than showing pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffWard Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Anyone have a SDB solution, or will this work for the SDB too? Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidnal Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) I tried the .223 shell in the 1050 and it works great. I used a 4' section of tubing and a u-bracket to hold it to the front edge of my bench. That will keep me from knocking it loose and gives a little upward pressure against the shell. Took an empty 1-gal detergent bottle and drilled a hole (a little tight for the hose). Put a few cups of used primers in the bottom to help anchor it and then shoved it against the back wall. After depriming, the little sucker shoot down the tube and I can hear a satisfying click when it hits bottom. Works perfectly.

jvall1201 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Works good with small primers, BUT not so with large. They get hung-up in the .223 case neck. I took a .357 Magnum case, & drilled the bottom out to the same I.D. as the inside of the case. I then epoxied the case head to the bottom of the spent primer hole & slid on the plastic tube after the epoxy hardened. Works perfect ever since.

G-ManBart Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Anyone have a SDB solution, or will this work for the SDB too?Jeff Probably not because the primer falls out of a slot rather than a hole on the SDB. R, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R, I had more problems with knocking the cup off with my knee rather then the primers missing the cup but this is what I came up with for the SDB.

Braxton1 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I have used this mod for some time. It is great to have the spent primers controlled all the way to the collection bin. When I first converted my press to 45 ACP, I found that the neck of the .223 case was a bit too narrow to allow every one of the Large Pistol primers to pass through. I looked at it and decided to drill out the OEM hole on the press to a larger size (5/16th worked for me), then press in a .308 case with the casehead cut off. Problem solved....

shred Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 FWIW, I now use an empty 8lb powder jug as the endpoint of the primer drop. I'm working on filling the 2nd one now. In theory there's some money to be made recycling the primers as they're mostly copper, but you have to find somebody that will take them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Here's my writeup/how-to on the primer catcher mod. I might eventually drill out the table and run the hose through it - we'll see. For now, it's nice and simple... http://re-gun.com/2012/01/1050-modifications/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
