    well a few weeks ago I got a hollywood turret press (i am sure you saw my post on it) that I am quickly falling in love with and I just scored a old Bonanza Co-Ax in pretty good shape that I can rebuild and use all that paint I bought for the Hollywood I didn't need. lol
    So I am set for presses and I also just got a FA rotary tumbler SS kit and the Hollywood came with 2 great Micrometer powder measures so I am set there too I will have to take some pics of the Hollywood now that I have it set up for reloading .30 carbine

    Here are pics of my Hollywood Sr Turret set up for .30 Carbine.

    I bought 3 press top bushings from CH Tool and Die to go from the 1 1/2-12 thread to 7/8-14. I also used the shot shell two resizing dies that came with the press removed the decapper/expander and screwed my powder measures in the top.

    The press only came with one handle for turning the turret so I bought 2 allen head cap bolts and formed the handles using fiberglass matting and epoxy then chucked them into the drill press to form and sand them before painting.

    For primer catching I had to extend the CH H-ram shell holder threads withe a 1/2-20 inside x 3/4-10 outside threaded insert a 3/4-10 nut keeping the shell holder tight to the ram and another 1/2-20 threaded insert in the bottom of the nut so I could attach the 1/2 surgical tubing with a hose clamp to take the spent primers to a catch can.

    I had to get a 6" 5/8-11 nylon thread cut the thread off and re-thread the bolt shaft to 5/8-18 to screw into the bottom of the powder measure through the resizer die,then I drilled a 3/8 hole through the length of the bolt and a 1/2 hole in the bolt head that I could screw a RCBS powder drop tube adapter in.

    I can reload 4-5 fully prepped and primed cases a minute with a factory crimp die station after the bullet seater.I am thinking about getting 3 more press top bushings from CH and another set of dies so I only have to index the turret in one direction and not have to re-index back to the expander die.(I don't like the powder through expander dies) I already have the other powder measure set up like the first all I need is a new reservoir for it which is already coming found 2 12" Hornady on Ebay that will work on these.

    Md, I would suggest you put some duct tape around the edges of that sardine can that holds your spent primers. Its just a accident waiting too give you a huge bleeder. Super sharp edges. JMHO
    And what kind of tubing is that for primer disposal please.
