I recently built a new reloading bench, and one of the features I wanted was a better way to deal with primers. I use a Lee Pro 1000 progressive, as well as a single stage basic Lee Press. Both send the spent primers into the mounting base of the press. This means if you have it mounted on solid wood, that the primers will eventually fill up and over flow.
So, I did a simple upgrade to my bench to deal with it. First I drilled a 1" hole through the bench under the presses. Then I screwed the lid from some empty 1lb powder containers onto the bench directly under the press, and put a similar 1" hole in the lid.
I can now screw the empty powder container onto the lid, and it catches my spent primers after decapping. No muss, no fuss, no mess. I can now periodically empty them out without making a royal mess!.
