Turret Presses

[mardig88]

I am looking around for turret presses, but i have a few questions
Lee seems to sell 3 and 4 hole turrets.
What would the advantage of the 4 hole be?

Other than the turret press, what do i need to buy? The automatic powder dispenser what part is it?
Are the charges it dispenses accurate?

What would the rate of production for a cautious loader be with this type of press?

the advantage of a turret press is that you can set up 2 cailbres of 2 dies each - example - I could set up my 270 and 338 dies - and then leave them there.
Some one (Redding I think) makes a 7 hole turret press - so you could set up 3 sets...

Turret presses dont make reloading faster. Just saves set up time. Essentially they are single stage presses - they are not "progressive"

general consensus says go Redding...a bit more but they have a block on the back so when you pull the lever the torque you put on the turret is taken by the block and not the bolt holding the turret attached. Over the years that can prevent issues from happening with the attachment for the turret.

not with the lee- it auto- indexes, so you get a different operation with each pull of the handle- one pull decaps, resizes, and re-primes all on the first stroke, the second bells the case and powder charges,( the powder dispenser is a die with a collar that the casing bumps up against in station 2, releasing the powder automatically into the casing) the third seats and crimps the bullet- then the round is ejected- with the 4 holes,you can add the FACTORY CRIMP DIE , which is esp nice for revolvers in that you can resize everything back to FACTORY DIMENSIONS and ensUres that EVERY ROUND GOES INTO EVERY CHAMBER- and the charges are a little light unless you use an adjustable charge bar-
