Aftermarket primer catcher worth it?

[Terry Chadron]

I am primarily using my Rock Chucker Supreme for reloading and saw that there are several sellers on ebay who sell aftermarket primer catchers for it. Does anybody here have any experience with those? Do they work as good as it sounds or better stick with the vacuum cleaner?

I just taped a 3 inch high piece of light cardboard inside the front of my RockChucker primer catcher. I can still see and use the shell holder and it stops the wayward spent primers. hdbiker

Have a wander over to the website "Thingiverse"

Most of the designs being sold on the auction site are sourced there.
The designs are free to download....all you need to do then is get access to a 3D printer; luckily for me the local library has one I can use, others options are local "maker-space" type groups.

You'd be surprised the amount of reloading based gizmos on Thingiverse, but they're not all equal, so check the reviews and feedback on each design from the folk that printed them off.

Yes, this one is worth it.
I’ve had this catcher for 3 years and it has worked great!

I purchases the One for The Lyman AA in fact 2 . works great . . You have to take the Prime seat stem out first. I prime off press anyway
i like it.

Like hdbiker, I have a piece of cardboard cut out of a primer box in the front of my RCBS catcher, the old die cast job, not plastic.

But I have the 3D printed chute and hose from Uniquetek on my Dillon.

Thanks. I think I'll reach out to the german and give it a try. Do you have the version that has the chute and the case ejector or the original one?

Yes, this one is worth it.

I have the original one also, works like a charm! Apparently he is no longer on the forum, some dispute or some sorts. So go to primercatcher.com
He does great work, in matter of fact built me a vise block for my 9mm build, also worked awesome!!

 

[Terry Chadron]

Cool! Thank you gents - will check out his website and get me one ordered.

 

[Terry Chadron]

Got my catcher yesterday and it works great so far! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

 

[Terry Chadron]

Oh - and I got the one that has the case ejector directly built into it. Great idea that guy had. Also asked him if he was still on here and he said he got kicked out because he mentioned a special deal pricing for his product somewhere on the forum and got into a fight with a mod over it.
