All of my readings about primer catchers for the Hollywood Senior Turret and the Senior for that matter has been that you can not have one while doing all operations.
Pictures of homemade ones that I have seen were screwed/bolted into the primer post threads. Thus, you decaped all your brass in one operation, then removed your catcher, install your primer post and commence to further reload.
Heck, I rather do what I had been - leave my primer post in, decap and catch the primer with my hand and continue reloading. What's the use of having a turret press if you can't use it as designed?
Well here is my primer catcher that works installed during all operations.

Not pretty, but it works. My kids would call it "ghetto".

Just take a "Glad" brand small tub storage container and gut it. Cut a hole for the primer post.

It even works all the way down on the downstroke. That is why you have to have the rubber band. It takes the "spring" out. Otherwise primers that have already been caught will be launched back out of the tray.
