I have an old Pacific Multi Power press that is missing a primer catcher cup. I called Hornady who bought Pacific years ago but they said that they has no parts for these obsolete presses. Does anyone know where I might find a suitable primer catcher cup for this press?

And the Primer Arm/Cup is black, but I don't use it and if you think it will work on yours, send me a PM with your mailing address and I'll send it to you..

Sorry,,, You said Primer Catcher Cup,,, I should have read better, instead of worrying about getting the pics... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif

Too much on my feeble old mind I guess.. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif

I would ditch the priming system on a single stage press, and go with a hand primer from rcbs,lee or other. Its faster and so much better in many ways.
 
Hit up the Gun Shows, especially the ones where ol'timers come in with their tables full of old, odd stuff. It looks close to being fit with an RCBS catcher. Or could you cut up a plastic drink cup and rubber band it in place, though you'll still probably need a good size trash basket underneath your press to catch the ones that flip out.
 
I made one from a bottom of a container of gun powder. Spend a bit of time cutting the contours right. It worked great but the primers often went down the slot in the ram where the priming arm goes. If your good..... you can leave just a tab of plastic to ride in that groove and deflect the falling primers in the cup. I also agree to prime with a hand primer.
