Hornady Lock N Load spent primer containment

[0371richwiner]

alright guys, im trying to figure out what is the best way for me either put a container under it, or route it elsewhere. I went through the 46 page Reloading room thread and i saw two LNL's both just had the rubber hose going into trash cans. This is the setup i have now, just an old water bottle with a hole cut in the cap for the hose and then 2 eye hooks with a piece of elastic rope securing it in place. it seems to work ok, just its not that aesthetically pleasing. Please just explain or post a picture of your setup thanks.

I take 2 plastic grocery bags, put one inside the other, and tape them to the end of the plastic tube. I then set them up on something to hold them up so the wight of the spent primers does not pull the plastic tube off the brass tube. Believe me this system holds a lot of spent primers. My reloading setup is in the basement, so esthetics are not an issue. I tried a trash can , and several other things, but I always ended up with spent primers on the floor.

my only recommendation would be to put down a mat or rip out the carpeting. you will be surprised how much stuff you spill and most is somewhat toxic. I reloaded in the garage and blow out all the junk out the front. baby + lead in house = very bad. I take a shower and wash my cloths before. handling the kid.

Vitamin bottle with a hole drilled in the lid. Done.

How ofter do you have to empty that? Does it ever get heavy enough to pull the tube off?

The fit on the tube is very snug. Maybe a thousand small rifle primers. I do not pull the bottle off, I unscrew it.

I use an empty 8 lb powder jug. I would be changing the vitamin bottle too many times.

That's why I went to the plastic bags. I sit down to load 2-3k at a time. When the bag gets too heavy, I cut the tape, and knot it.

2-3k at a time? When do you find the time to burn through that much ammo?

My wife and I shoot a lot during the summer, and as much as we can in the winter weather permitting. I also load 5 different calibers. Needless to say with the price of factory ammo, I have been doing a lot more reloading. Since I have been stuck in the house this winter, I have been doing some stockpiling.

I have a 5-gallon bucket setting on top of a milk crate and the tube rests in there.

5 g bucket. I put a board across the top and rest my feet on there while loading. Dual purpose.
