Looking for Recommendations for Turret Style Presses

Re3iever said:
Thanks to everyone that has provided feedback so far , attached is a picture of my Lee press, you can see the base is substantially taller then the unit 6MT posted pics. Maybe I just need to get the model he has, looks like that would at least solve the clearance issue for my rifle cartridges.

Keep'em coming.

I don't know. Be nice to have a pic of that press with a 45-70 case in it. To me, there looks to be a lot of clearance for such, even with a 450gr slug of lead sitting on top. The auto-indexing drive portion will have to be removed though.

There uhh, is no classic cast turret press. There is the classic turret, which is what you and everyone else here seems to have. The classic cast is the single stage.

The "Classic Cast" was an offering back in the late 90's early Y2K's but was discontinued to be replaced by the Alum based rotary on offer now.

I have had loading press's from a lot of different manufacturers over 50 yrs of loading currently owning a Dillon 650 and a Lee Classic cast rotary ....the Lee will be my "forever" press when I dont need a progressive anymore.
 
Well, you asked for it; Area 419 Zero Press... Seems to be the best turret press money can buy at the moment... Disadvantages: Expensive and won't seat primers...
 
Hi Again, just wanted to thank everyone for their feedback. I've decided to stick with loading my 45-70 and 38-55 rifles using my single stage press. I know some folks have suggested removing the turning mechanism which would likely give me a enough room for rifle shells but that kind of defeats the reason I got the turret press in the first place.

One thing I will change is I will do my pistol priming on the single stage press, I experimented with this over the last few days - primed about 500 45LC cases on the single stage then loaded them on the turret press , took me about 5 hours.
