ninosdemente, those images give me a better understanding of why you want a different primer catch.
Makes more sense now.
What you need is something that stays behind the ram completely, in order to not interfere with your case kicker and chute, right?
Perhaps I'll try to print this one later: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2780509
It seems like a better design than the blocky version previously linked, and some hooks could potentially be added to help secure it with rubber bands. ...So long as the stl files import properly. Otherwise, it's a redesign from scratch.
As for my basic solutions to primer containment, here's a photo:
Just one magnet and some tube.
I used styrene tube (split down one side for 'spring' action) in the ram for a bit more strength over something like a straw. It also happened to be easily accessible when I first considered the idea.
Tubing removal is done one of two ways:
1. No die in press: Run the ram to the top, grab the tube with needle-nose pliers, and lower the ram. It pulls right out.
2. Die in press: Raise the ram half an inch, or so. Stab the tube with an X-acto knife with a #11 blade facing down (sharp side down, back of blade up). Lower the ram. Finish extraction by hand or with pliers.
I rarely remove the tubing, since I very, very rarely prime on a press and even more rarely prime on the RC IV.
