really really great!

So it is 1:48 and I am now going home. lol Overall, I love the press. Once in full turret mode, I can see how you can quickly load up a ton of ammo. Loaded up a box of 308, looks nice and perty. 40.9 gr of imr 4895 with CCI LR primers and 168gr Sierra Match King HPBT.

good one. I put the polish on the media, not the brass.

So This is so exciting. Alot of people are just starting to get into reloading, including myself, so I figured why not Chronicle what I am doing. A little background, after careful consideration of budget, amount of reloading, space, etc... I broke down and ordered the Lee Classic Turret Press, along with all of the extra stuff that goes along with it. Got the Tumbler from Cabelas, scales etc from Midway. Everything came yesterday and was in boxes. Today, finally had a chance to bust it out. The setup on the Lee Press is still a work in progress. lol., but it is easy. There really is nothing to setting up the press. The press was all assembled in the box, minus the lever handle and the awesome PVC tube that captures the spent primers. Since I did not want to set i up at home due to space, I decided to set it up in my office, where I conveniently have a nice corner cube avail that is being unused that can be perfect for reloading. I still do not want to have the press permanently mounted into the office furniture, so as per online reading and advice given, I mounted the press onto an Oak board, which I clamped down with C clamps onto the desk, which is quite sturdy. Drilled the pilot holes, and then tightened the lag screws. In order to test out the turret and all, and lets be honest, the excitement, I put on the universal decaping die from Lee, and went to work. Snapped in the shell plate for the 308, put the spent brass in, pulled the lever, and was hooked instantaneously to the new passion as soon as I heard, and felt the old primer go down the ram into the primer tube. Fast forward.... 80 rounds later. =) couldnt stop. So now opened the Cabela's box and got out the tumbler.... wait, this is weird, the warranty card says to return it to Berry's Mfg. Quite interesting that the Cabela's tumbler is made by Berry's. Overall, nice tumbler, smaller than I imagined. Put the media in, dropped the newly deprimed 308 brass, along with a bunch of 223 brass, put the polish in, closed it up, tightened the seal, and turned it on. will have pics later. First impressions on the Lee press, sturdy and well made. The linkage is top notch.

prayers to his family. But it must be said... when fuggin around with his gun, he takes out the magazine... but doesnt clear/check the chamber? And I take it no thumb safety on those glocks? Btw, for the LEO here... Is there a rule or a guideline as to what condition the LEO is to carry their firearm in? Ie, in Israel, it is mandatory for them to carry with a magazine in, however unchambered. They are taught from the beginning to chamber/rack while drawing.

take him to the range....

Just like the design of the site. sorry, couldnt resist.

the loaded ammo or the press? Mine came in today as well... just have to find the place where I want to mount it in the office.

lol. When I was at UBS.... I found out that about 40% of the brokers in the office were gun owners. One guy sitting across from me was just getting into it. Another coworker owned a few shotties, another one was telling me about his sigs.

range? talking about the englishtown raceway. =) confused. But I do recall there was a gun range in englishtown... dont recall when it closed down. As far as the Smith 500.... I did shoot that beat once... wow.
