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

If I buy another press it will be a Lee Classic Turret. They have an excellent reputation, and will speed up the single stage rifle production signifigantly.

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.
