.....Thanks to Creeker for the straw trick. Mine now captures them far more reliably.
OK, sorry, this is my tired, old LEE yammering* again, but the first original turret press I bought would pitch every last spent primer against the priming arm and bank it right into the spent primer reservoir, no fail.
The second one I bought, not so much. 50/50, maybe, sometimes. Infuriating. I modified the priming arm and improved the ratio by quite a bit, but not nearly enough. Eventually, when a chicken my wife adopted, who followed me EVERYWHERE (the chicken, not my wife), seemed to find spent primers very tasty, gobbled every one of them she could, right off the shop floor.
So, I fashioned a fancy spent primer deflector from the plastic cover of an expended spiral-bound notebook. After several prototypes, I was catching 98% of the spent primers. That *&#^%@$ chicken would FIND the errant two percent!
That genius,
@Creeker , with his drinking straw trick put us back into fresh eggs, because I wasn't eating them while the chicken was eating spent primers!
*To everyone's credit, no one has complained, but I just feel bad about it sometimes.
