Whats the best single stage press...

[garandman]

... with a spent primer catcher that actually works ?

REALLY TIRED of my Rockchucker sending primers all over my bench and floor.

Or is there an aftermarket primer catcher for the RCBS?

The Big Boss 2 work good keeping primers where they should be.

I love the primer catching system on my Redding T7 turret press I don’t know if there single stage has the same if it does can’t go wrong with it, I feel your pain with the rock chucker I love mine but not for depriming!

For this to work, you have to turn your ram around. It should solve your problem. https://www.ebay.com/itm/RCBS-Reloa...hash=item3b42a6ac6f:m:mwl_3gyZR93rvI6Fk-0UzxQ

I own a rockchucker also and that is the only thing i can think of that I don’t like about it!!!Got a Redding boss also that has the clear tube under the ram that catches primers and it works great.I deprime independently with rcbs deprime die on the reddinng.Cant have enough presses anyway lol.I also think I’ve seen sumin about a afternarket up grade for RC but cant remember where I seen it...

The older RCBS -RS- & JR have a primer tray that actually works coupled with a good linkage makes these old presses very popular in my neck of the woods.

First let me say that I am a RCBS fan & my bench is almost all green! But frustrated at picking up spent primers off the floor I ditched my Rockchucker Supreme & bought a MEC Marksman. Great press & it catches all the primers!

I don't know what model you have, but if it's an RC Supreme you can get one of these aftermarket solutions. I went from dropping one primer out of every 10, to probably not dropping one in the last ~4-5 thousand rounds.

I have one from a company called Primercatcher. They have added a number of new products since I've purchased mine. The website is quite busy, but mine is still available, rock chucker supreme.
made with a 3D printer. Mine works very well, not perfect but catches about 95% of the primers, has a tube with a plug on it that holds the primers until ypu pull the plug.

I too have a RCBS JR perhaps 45-50 years of age, that came with a clever primer catcher shaped like a cup which wrapped around the area of the ram and would catch all of the primers. I do not understand why that was discontinued.

I've got a Redding Boss, and this thing spits primers all over the place. It's usually only by chance the primers end up where they should be.

Agreed,
I can’t understand why people change up a good thing.

I deprime on a Lee Breech Lock Reloader Press, and that's all I use it for -- keeps my Redding Big Boss free of the primer dust.
It drops a few, but if I don't go too fast, it does a nice job.
Only annoying thing is the press has to be removed from the bench to get the spent primers out.

Mine drops all them down the middle of the ram and out the tube.

Boyd,
If you turn the ram around then how can you prime with it anymore?... not that I ever do just asking.

I love my MEC Marksman. It's very compact and I appreciate how little space it takes up on the bench.

You don't, at least as part of sizing. You can still use one of these. https://www.rcbs.com/priming/bench-mounted/16-9165.html

I never had a primer catching problem with my Lyman Orange Crusher. Good catching system.
