I did that when I first got mine. I cleaned out an empty 2 liter pepsi bottle and cut a slot in the side. It lives next to the ChargeMaster. When I'm done, I open the port and let it drain into the bottle. The bottle makes it much easier to put the powder back into the bottle at the end of a loading session. If I forget to close the port the bottle is there to catch it.
me neither... i am still in the uniflow world.

Yeahhh, I'm big on reminder notes too. Sometimes they help
Was shooting today, practicing and your pic reminded me to shoot a snap of my 600yd preloads
lid........I don’t have one of those....yet..., but did recently acquire a turret press.
Sad to admit I have missed rotating the turret to the powder drop die, not once, but twice. I pour the charge into the funnel, hear rain stick sounds, it’s great.
Varget seems to spread everywhere on the bench very well.

Or no primers and you don't discover it until the entire tray is loaded.

Ha I learned that trick years ago on my Posness Warren shotshell loader. It has drains for shot and powder so doubles your chances to screw up. BTW done it with the CM too

Crap weather so it's time to do some inventing. Trying to make this problem go away so no special tools or Rube Goldberg setup needed. Went and bought three different springs, took the unit apart to see where I could drill, how to attach the spring to the drain. Drilled the hole, ran a self tapping screw in the side of the unit at the top. Tried multiple positions of the spring, no joy. Too small to hold the spring to the drain wheel so got another ty-wrap and EUREKA! the weight of the large ty-wrap's clip and the length of it was enough weight, when positioned at the bottom, to keep the door closed. Problem was it was too long to sit on the bench. I need a substitute weight. Took a jacketed pistol bullet, drilled it small, clipped the ty-wrap short and pressed the bullet on the end. You can modify the install any way you like as long as you have weight at the 6 o'clock position. You may have to adjust the ty-wrap to get it at that point.
At least now when I see all that, I'll check to see it's closed. With the weight though, it's almost automatic.

Anymore, the only thing I'm one with is nap time.
I was loading shotgun shells for a trapshooting.went to add shot to a mec , sat a half bag of 8's on the bench reached to pull cap out of bottle .saw bag start to tip over. Didn't reach it in time in 2 seconds 12pounds on the floor.happened years ago. Can still find shot.
don't feel bad. I was loading for our match last weekend and got done loading.put my two rounds that seated different point down and got the first one in the ammo box and lo and behold, there no primer where there should be. truth be told, there was not a single round with a primer in it. I was smh and, looking for something positive in the experience, thought it could have been worse. if those 2 hadn't seated differently, I probably would have went to the match with a bunch of rounds with no primers to be found amongst any of them.and worse than that, at our last practice at 600, I had 4 shots in 3/4". adjusted my windage, with my finger in the trigger guard, and my finger touched the trigger, BANG!! and the round was gone. I called the pits to tell them I did not mean to let that one go and they were like " you are going to cry" and told me what had just happened. shooting 101, don't put your finger on the trigger till you're ready to let it go. one day maybe
