T 7 Primers exiting front of Redding press

[gifbohane]

About half of removed primers are popping out of the front of the press and onto the floor.

Any ideas on how to get them to go down into the hole in the center to the hose repository?

I have a Redding T7 and love the press. Reload rifle on it. Of all the presses I have ever owned the T7 priming setup is the worst that I have ever used.

I have one of these for priming. I prime everything with it except pistol. Prime pistol on my Dillon 550. I like the priming set up on the Dillon.

The RCBS bench primer tool is the cat's meow! Awesome tool

I’ve put a plastic box, about 3x5, underneath mine and done away with the plastic tube. That’s probably got me to 95% success. Hopefully someone can offer a better option. I’ll be watching.

I decapped 110 45ACP cases yesterday on mine and all primers stayed in the ram/tube. I have had them jump out from time to time but not nearly what you are describing.

(Still haven’t cleaned up since yesterday)

I have the Redding Big Boss II - I believe it has the same primer system as the T7. My experience is the same as @CQB45ACP - maybe 3 or 4 in a hundred won't go down the tube.

I have the Big Boss II which appears to be the same setup. I have the auto primer feed setup on mine and never had that problem. It may be that the sled blocks the port enough it doesn't happen. But it's in the back position when depriming.

Had the same problem. I inserted a square piece of wood in the slot and glued it in. Measure the slot width, it corresponds to a standard piece that you find a Home Depot. Might be a stir stick width. That slot is only there to use the priming arm, and I don't prime on the press.

All the primers now go down the shaft, into the cup.

Good idea. I don’t prime with mine either.

Darn! The press isn’t included.

Skgreen. Wish I could give you more than one like! Thanks!

I had the same problem on my lee turret press & fashioned up a piece of aluminum pop can to fill the gap that the primers come through.(red arrow)

I haven’t a clue how you did that but I like it a lot.

I gave him another one for you.

From link:
Primer Director upgrade for the Redding T7 Reloading press(not incl)
This item will also work with the Big Boss 2 press whose ram has the clear tube attached to the ram.
The kit includes 4 primer director parts 2 of each style.

One of my RockChucker primer catcher kits from Ebay came with something similar. Did its job just fine!

I just ordered - thanks for this.

Wondering if the 'long-ish' slot in the Redding ram is more prone to spittin stuff out than a ram with a shorter slot? (My Chucker Supreme's priming arm slot is ~1 3/4"~. )

I no longer deprime on the T7, but I seem to recall maybe 5% of spent primers going rogue.
