For the depriming operation, I've tried those stupid little plastic tubes that end in a bottle - they come loose and fall; and sometimes primer pieces jump up and still land all over the floor. I've tried a bucket - sometimes the primers even miss that.
My reloading area is a humble recessed workbench area surrounded by cabinets. A large spring steel binder clip on top of a closed cabinet door holds a simple cardboard box, sans lid. It's easy to set up, disassemble, and empty. Perhaps this simple remedy will be helpful to somebody else with a similar cabinet-style setup.
For many years I put up with the RCBS style of fired primer tray. These little things would flip everywhere.
I tried several things to keep the fired primers in the tray, but nothing worked.
Several years ago now I bought two used Bonanza Co-Ax presses with the steel drop tube into the little bottle design. It works great. No primers all over the place and the dirt and grit goes into the bottle, not around the press ram.
The only problem is occasionally a primer will get stuck in the tube and I have to encourage them to go on down.
Had my RCBS presses had a way to drop the fired primers from the bottom I would have gladly tried the box idea.

Excellent idea. Just gotta love it when someone comes up with a practical, inexpensive solution to an irritating problem.
