The primer carrier needs to be in place to act as a baffle.
No its 444marlin brass and no primer cup is on the press.I have the press in single stage since I want to use a hand primmer Im just starting to reload for the first time. I for got to mention that I did oil and wipe down the press.....I live in humid Florida.

The 'primer cup' in place on the ram is what directs the spent primers to where they are supposed to go. Just slip it into place, and do your hand priming after the decapping / resizing step.

Or, get a fat drinking straw and cut as needed to fit the length of the ram. All primers go down slick.
This^^^^^
Must be even if you are not priming on the press. You do not need the whole plastic safety prime that holds the primers.

Yes to the primer thing a ma jiggy needing to be in place, I prime off press and have dealt with this. I just cover it with a narrow band of packing tape..and don't lower the ram all the way down. I wish Lee made a little cover you could snap over the hole.
Its funny, when I first started I was cussing this press for doing it. "Friggin thing spits primers everywhere, what a crap design"..Then I realized why.

I don't use the priming device (hand prime).
To stop flying primers, I just used a bunch of appropriately sized o-rings to cover the slot in the ram.

Hey wait, what Straw thing A P for the C?
And Taro, Im guessing you just slide the O-rings over the ram? How many of them? What kind, I dont think you're talking about the O rings to hold a die in place..? Nevermind that last one, but what kind of O rings, (at least Im thinking there are more than one kind)

Cool thanks very much. Another reason I love the forum here..
I like the straw idea, provided it doesnt want to rattle off the ram every other stroke..?

This brings back memories. Took me a long search on the Internet one night to find out that my press wasn't defective and the little primer arm had to be on the press to direct the spent primers. Since I store them off the press hung up on magnets, I occasionally still forget as I start decapping and have the little buggers running about till I remember.
