4-HOLE CLASSIC TURRET PRESS Reviews & Ratings

LEE PRECISION 4-HOLE CLASSIC TURRET PRESS

This press has all the features of the award-winning Turret Press with quality touches that make this the finest, most convenient press to own. The Classic Turret features the solid steel linkage of the Lee Classic Cast. Your first stroke of the hardwood gripped lever will convince you this is one, solid silky smooth press! The sturdy iron base shows its Classic Cast roots.

The long stroke allows rifle cases over three inches long to be loaded using the automatic index. Deactivate the Auto-Index and cases over 4 inches can be loaded. The rigid cast iron frame supports the ram with over 12 square inches of area. The industry's largest ram is drilled completely through to dispense primers in an attached clear PVC tube. Every primer is caught--guaranteed.

Instant change turrets are the same as the famous Lee Turret Press. The Classic Turret uses the Lee Lever Primer System (LPS) and the Lee Safety Prime tool makes priming on the press a delight.

Great Press for the Money

I bought this press on a sale as a im first time set. When I started to unbox it I noticed that it was really a no frills set. The instructions take me back to stuff you would see in the 70’s. The whole system isn’t anything special. It just works! All my rounds with Lee Dies Carbide or Not produce rounds within .001-.002 +/-. The Redding does that I bought just have better methods of decapping and resizing the rounds that I reload. The rod tension of the Lee decapping and resizing dies if not centered properly will initially hit one side of the case and thin it slightly. It has nothing to do with the reloader or the turret. The turrets maintain their “zero” well, you just have to turn the dies to make sure they are tight from time to time. Other than the occasional need to oil squeaky parts it makes great rounds for target shooting to accurate rounds within 1-200m. If it’s not an issue with the shooter, better dies will improve what you make in the press. Happy with it

Would buy again

I have to lee loaders I own the Lee loadmaster and the turret press. I started out with the four hole Lee turret press and it did served me very well. I used the lee turret press exclusively for about the first 3 years before my Lee loadmaster and I still use the lee turret press mainly for calibers that I don't load very often. The main thing I never liked about the Lee turret press is the priming system, but I always hand primed anyway and so not a big issue.
