Dillon Primer Catch Cup Modification
heres one for all who own a Dillon. less headaches is always a good thing.
Dillon Primer Catch Cup Modification
parts list
1 3/4 incl long peice of "threaded lamp pipe" (this is threaded for 1/8 inch pipe thread and has a larger hole in it than 1/8 inch pipe)
2 a nut to fit the "threaded lamp pipe"
3 a 1/8 inch pipe connector ( this is galvanised and should fit the "threaded lamp pipe" like a long nut)
4 2 foot section of nylon tubing to fit the outside of the pipe connector
5 screw type hose clamp to fit the tubing once it is on the pipe connector
drill hole in bottom of cup to fit the "threaded lamp pipe" and put nut on "threaded lamp pipe", place in hole.
spin on the pipe coupler and run it up to the bottom of the cup. leave most of the "threaded lamp pipe" inside the coupler.
and tighten it all up . vise grips work well in the coupler and standard socket on the nut. you get the picture. when
done use a counter sink bit to remove all burs from the inside end of the "threaded lamp pipe". it should almost be
a funnel and should be flush with the top of the nut. clamp on the nylon tubing and run it into a gallon milk jug
or other container to catch the spent primers that fall thru the tube. done
this takes only about 15 minutes to build and saves the headache of emptying an
overfilled catch cup, and sweeping up th spent primers. one less problem to deal with.
granted most people wont need it, but if you are like me it also gives me a place to throw
those pesky berdian primed cases as well, i recycle the bad brass and spent primers are brass...
