I haven't experienced Shotgun's powder drop tube pickup but Bill's scenario has happened to me. Have pywood bins attached to both sides of reloading cabinet, one for hulls on left and one for bag of wads, tools, bottlecaps, sieves, and coke bottle funnels on right. A bit fast on the handle return on a 9000G and the primer (particularly W-209s, less trouble with Remmmys) can be retained and "flung" far and wide by the primer drop tube. I've also had the spring-loaded gate somehow eject a primer from the tray itself despite the plastic cover. Primer tray on right hand, hulls on right hand, yes it can happen as I've found my "lost primer" among them several times. I maintain that loading by multiples of one hundred at a time encourages one to account for the little critters. Shotgun accounted for his; one smart feller.
