Lee Turret Press

Recommended Posts

Anyone using the Lee turret press ? I'd like to go with one of those for better production. I used a Lee Challenger in the past. Just wondering about the quality, ease of use, etc.

I am a new reloader. Been reloading since November. Learnt from the internet, manuals, forums etc. Bought a Lee Classic Turret.

Its a very good press to learn on in my opinion. Built tough, semi progressive or single stage, inexpensive,easy to set up, easy to learn with. I would recommend highly.

I load for several types of bullets in 45 & 9mm...ordered a .223 setup for my AR. Since I have been reloading, I have been shooting much more and I have plenty available. Not a better shot yet :oops: , but working on it.

Reloading is kind of relaxing to me...like therapy.

You wont regret a Lee Classic Turret Press

Thanks Ah141Nj. I thought I'd hear good things about this press. I reloaded with a single stage Challenger for at least 10 years but have been away from reloading for quite a while. This one looks like it can save some time for me. I've got tons of data for loads somewhere in a box. When I find it, I'll share the recipes here.

 

Safe Shooting,

Mitch

I had mine out today. It was a perfect day for it. Ran off 200 9mm. Takes me about 1 hour per 100, not counting the tumbling. I've been using the Lee Classic Turret Press for three years and it fits the bill. I too do it partly to relax and partly to fulfill an inner need to stockpile. Using existing components, it cost about $6.50 per 100 using 124 grain FMJ and 4.0 grains of Bullseye. You'll enjoy it as long as you don't plan on being a munitions factory.

    • Looking to pick up a Kriss vector  in 9mm.  Let me know what you got.   Thanks Chris  
    • If you’re going to VA, buy 2 radios.  Program one for here and one for there.  If you guys are buying Baofeng radios do yourself a favor and get a tactical antenna for it,it’ll extend your reach.
    • Both our memories are a bit lacking. 3 bystanders were hit by NYPD bullets and 6 were hit by fragments at the Empire State Building shooting. The bullets later were determined to have passed through the bad guy as I said. He was not a big guy. The police fired 16 rds and 7 hit the bad guy.  Spray and pray?  I think not.  These officers fired until the threat was stopped and everyone is moving. Have you ever tried to hit a moving target whilst you're moving.  If you watch the video from where the police encounter him, the BG draws his gun from his bag, NYPD guys shoot, and the BG hit the ground is about 2 or 3 seconds.  The closest officer is maybe 12 feet or less.  The closest cover are those concrete flower pots.  If the officers chose to take cover before drawing the BG would have had a chance to shoot at least one officer. Know your target and beyond?  Agree 100%.  However, this by the Empire State Building at 9 am during the week.  There are bystanders and traffic in every direction.  The officers had a choice of doing what they did or letting the BG shoot them with his 1911 and shoot someone else. I think they made the right choice and the same one I would have made.  The officers exercised the best option in protecting themselves and the public. The first video is the police shooting.  The second is more detailed and gives you a lot of background information on the shooter. One thing this shows is if NYPD had to use fmj undoubtedly more bystanders would have been wounded perhaps killed.  NJ's hollowpoint law. only creates more danger to the public.
