Update I still am manully indexing the LCT press but as of now I am turning out first rate ammo at a higher speed than ever before so thanks all for the help
Alright guys question time how do you get the primers in the little round primer attachment because I hate playing primer pick up .
Depends on how the primers are packaged from the manufacturer.Alright guys question time how do you get the primers in the little round primer attachment because I hate playing primer pick up .
I loaded some on that press. I did not use the onboard powder measure but threw my charges on a Harrell and then dropped them through the funnel. You just have to make sure the ram is up when you do that or you will drop powder all over everything.Alright guys I am beginning to load the dreaded 223 for an armalite rifle 15 any advice for doing this on the LCT
Thanks horsemen61
I passed on the LCT primer unit and do it off press with a rcbs handheld. I love using this little thing. That didnt really answer your question thoughAlright guys question time how do you get the primers in the little round primer attachment because I hate playing primer pick up .
Dump the whole 100 primers into a paper plate or a paper towel, then funnel them onto the flipper tray. Easy.If I understand your question, is it getting the primers out of the 100 pack sleeve into the round primer tray??
Slide the top cardboard over until 50 primers are visible. Put the empty tray over the top of the primer pack and and flip it over. Now there are 50 in the tray. put the tray on a flat bench on a towel or something(in case some fall out) and slowly slide the top sleeve off as 10 primers at a time drop in the tray. Sound s more complicated than it is. Jiggle them so they are all flipped the right way.Takes 10 seconds or so.
Or if you can live with just 50 primers, use those and then do the same thing over. Doing it over the towel saves you picking up primers from the floor !
^^^Thats my choice. Simple as pie...Even simpler, turn the primer package upside down on the tray, then slide the cover off.
That works fine unless you are using Federal primers. Their tray is larger than most primer flipper trays except Lee's new one. There must be hundreds of thousands of the old round trays too small for the larger primer sleeves (and they don't wear out or age out), so the question remains, "how to handle it when things don't fit?"Even simpler, turn the primer package upside down on the tray, then slide the cover off.

Couldn't have said it better.Half a box will fit a Lee tray, so I slide the lid half off, dump that, then slide the lid in the other direction and dump that. Their box does well when loading tubes directly from the box.
