lee deluxe turret press

I bought one about two weeks ago from wholesale.
It's a pretty decent press for the money. Hasn't given me any problems so far. I've loaded about 600 rounds.
I definately have to buy some more turrets. Changing out dies is lame.

Lee's Turret Press is arguably their best product. Extra turrets are a must, however.
The only part of the press that I had to repair was the plastic component that houses the "auto-indexing" rod...the screw stripped in the plastic when I replaced the nylon bushing. I replaced the self-tapping screw with a machine screw and locking nut and it's been good for thousands of rounds.
As with all Lee products, if they'd spent a buck or two more on quality components, they'd be twice as good as they are now.

On the other hand, if something breaks, just email them and they will most likley send you the parts you need....free of charge. They did for me anyhow.
The classic turret is the press I'm probably going to get.
Here's some more reading for you.

Mine came with a spare plastic piece.
As did both of mine, one of which is probably close to 30 years old now, I think. Lots of rounds through them. - dan
